I had just done my biannual check up in IKN on 12 December
2017. It is very comforting to get great results from the review.
PSA – 0.362
B/P – 146 /81
Pulse rate - 71
Weight – 69.8
Oxygen level -97 %
Yes, my PSA is rising slowly as expected, rising about 0.2
per year. It will be necessary to intervene with treatments when our PSA
reaches 4.0. Hopefully for me it will be some years away. My new PSA baseline
for 2018 will be pegged at 0.36.
I am happy to note that my weight has remained constant at
70kg. That is good despite of a bigger waist line. My Oxygen level in my blood is
97%. Excellent for my age at 73 years old.
My present form of exercise is daily bird photography which
needs me to carry quite a heavy load of the camera, lenses and other necessities.
I walkabout and climb tracks to search for the birds. This is a very good form
of therapy. Patience and non stress activities at the end of the day.
My annual general medical review also showed that my main
organs are good. No problems with my livers, kidneys and heart.
I am as good as can
be for now, notwithstanding having to cope with diabetes.
Take care all.
