Annual Physical Exam: A.O.K.

keith haring sun 2 (2)

I had my annual physical exam with my primary care physician yesterday.  Except for the Parkinson’s disease, I’m in tip-top shape.

Everything was great/normal/negative:  blood pressure; weight; good cholesterol; bad cholesterol; other blood work; urinalysis; Hep A and Hep B vaccinations; testosterone level; heart; liver; lungs; eyeballs; prostate.

I was thrilled to write the sonnet I posted last night, which I drafted in a restaurant after my doctor’s appointment.  I continue to tweak it today.  My mind was upbeat as I wrote it, although to the casual reader the poem may sound like a downer.
