a.k.a. company health check.

I woke up early today and am skipping breakfast because of a company health check. My first one. Until now, I had refused, because I was worried of privacy (former company was giving out the forms without any envelope, for everyone to see old results printed on the said forms).

New company is very worried with privacy (especially because there is now a pretty strict privacy law in Japan). I got the forms in an envelope and will also get results in such an envelope.

Basic plan includes: blood & urine test, (back) chest x-ray, heart, eyes, ears, blood pressure. I added a diabetes blood check (to be paid by me).

In October, I also went and had checks done for/at mammography, thyroid, dentist and ob/gyn. I felt a little like a car, going through the bi-annual check up.

I will admit that I had been procrastinating on these checks and felt guilty about it...

Now, I will need to remember and do the thyoid checks twice a year and the rest once a year.
