Underwent my annual health check on 16th where because of my Type 2 Diabetes I had my weight, height, heart rate, blood pressure and three blood samples taken.
The health check was four months overdue so I naturally put that down to the pandemic and the results which I usually receive in the post a week after the event have yet to arrive so again, I put the delay down to the pandemic.
Nothing amazing there I thought but what arrived in the post the other day did surprise me....an appointment for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening.
The appointment letter states the screening is offered free of charge by the NHS to all men during their 65th year. The pamphlet accompanying the letter explaining the ultrasound scan procedure states said procedure is for men 'in the year they turn 65'
As of today I'm 63 years and 4 months of age
I will attend the appointment and guess I'll put the two age anomalies down to the pressures of the pandemic again!
