Life screening...

I've been wanting to have a health screening done for about a year--even tried to schedule one that was advertised about six months ago, but could never get through. Finally, had one a few weeks ago....and I'm fine...not that I had any reason to think otherwise, but it's just kinda nice to know....when one is over 50.

The carotid artery scan shows any plaque buildup and blood flow. Mine was mild on both sides and not affecting blood flow velocities.

The atrial fib screening was normal--nothing detected.

The abdominal aortic screening was normal--nothing detected.

The peripheral arterial screening was normal.

I had a bone mineral density screening done also, but do not have the results yet. As soon as I get it, I'll post here.
