Biomed.something or other screening..... what?

Today my employer talked us all into screenings on our cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose , BMI , and etc. with a bribe of $75.00   ha.  It worked.. most people took the screenings, as did I.  Found I wasn't in as bad a shape as I might have allowed myself to think if I were a worrier about such things.  However I was very surprised to find my blood sugar lever at 42!  And over all Cholesteral only 114.   

The conservative in me sees this as a plot for them to deny insurance if people don't get screenings and take more preventive measures in the future.  There goes your privacy down the tubes... right?  Or does the fact that they pay more then 3/4 of the premium of my insurance give them the right to know the size of my waistline compared to the size of my butt and whether I eat enough fiber.  LOL

My friend lost her mother and best friend this past Sunday.  I stopped by the funeral home today to give my condolences.  She looked so peaceful and sweet.  92 or so years on this earth and they said she went peacefully.  Who could ask for more?  Many pictures of happy faces with family and friends showed a rich and full life even though she lost her husband many years ago.  Rest in peace Helen S.  you are heaven's gain.

Glen's back continues to trouble him. 2 days in bed makes him very very restless.  I'm feeling so helpless.  Patience and compassion towards him.... Righteous anger towards that stupid enemy that attacks.  When I grow up I want to have the faith to overcome.
