Dancing with fear…

"A miracle is something that seems impossible but it happens anyway..."

(Be still, my beating heart...)

Each medical check-up is frightening. I have been through fear and panic several times…

I never miss my yearly medical check-up except for last year. Don’t ask me why. I have reasons for that. This year I summoned the courage and freed my time to visit Pantai Medical Centre, after several reminders. I'd rather err on the side of caution, than pretend I am a superwoman and nothing can go wrong. Besides, the entire complex, expensive and complicated tests were free, so why not take advantage while I am still employed.

Today, accompanied by dear hubby and my grand-daughter Hana, I went to visit my gynae and stopped at the Executive Screening Program 7th Floor to collect the results of my medical tests and got my doctor to interpret them. I was diagnosed with dyslipidemia, fatty liver and a small uterine fibroid. My doctor recommended a lifestyle modification with increase exercise and dietary change to improve my lipid profile. According to my doctor I am generally healthy.

Peace of mind always energizes me and makes me happy…

  1. There's an old saying.."its better to be struck with lipid now, than to be stiff 6 feet down"...or did I just made that up? Glad to know you are medically certified healthy.

  2. Healthy people can die too.

    They said: the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; wealth, health and love.

    They just make the most of everything they have…
