Good Day

‘It’s the simple things in life like kids at home and a loving wife, that you miss the most when you lose control. Everything else starts to disappear and the devil takes your hand and says, ‘Have another shot’.

Kenny Chesney – ‘That’s Why I’m Here’

I’m excited. It has been a largely good day for me.
I rang the GP to find my test results and I passed with flying colours – if there is anything like that. I have been anxiously waiting for the feedback following my ‘full man check’ last week. I don’t know what I expected – but after someone hinted I might be diabetic just because I complained I was sweating nowadays – I was hoping that it would be smooth. I know one of the symptoms of diabetics is thirst, I did not experience that – I remember many years ago when a neighbours was ‘diagonised’ by a trainee nurse when we were just chatting mtaani.

So instead of worrying myself to the point of getting actually I decided to see the GP.
My neighbour had just finished his Masters and always related to us how tough it had been and the levels of stress. I have gone through tough times since I came to the UK– studies and job related and add the fact that I am far from home – that is stress there! I think the worst is the uncertainty that surrounds the future – should I stay should I go, when is the right time to jump ship – everyday is like being in a CEO of an embattled conglomerate. Decision after decision. I understand as I grow older (it’s like being on a fast lane on the motor-way!) I can not take for granted my health



I only hope I will wake up on Saturday morning for jogging in the near by park – I definitely admire those who are devoted to a healthy lifestyle. I’m working my way slowly.

I only wish this was like the final test and it will be like this forever – life is a marathon as they say.
