Checkup, Massage

May 20th, 2006

Our busy season ended last month as I posted the other day. But my brother and I are worried about our health because we had to work our fingers to the bone. So we decided to take a checkup a couple of weeks ago.
Today we went into a hospital for a complete physical(medical) examination(checkup). There wasn't a long line in the waiting lounge, so we was able to take it as soon as we arrived.

The doctor told me I didn't have any serious problems so far, but I have to wait for the results of my blood test and barium contrast x-ray for my stomach. After that, the doctor gave me some laxative pills to exhaust(discharge?) the barium I had a lot. I exhausted a huge amount of s**t in 10 minutes. It looked white-ish and I did 4 times in 2 hours. It's called "diarrhea", isn't it ? Sorry to write such a dirty topic. :)

After the examination, I went for a massage. There's a nice relaxation space(shop) nearby. The hospital I took the checkup is next to the shopping mall in which my English school is, and the relaxation space is in front of the school. The reason I say it's a nice space is..... many young female masseurs! :) Feel great! Comfortable! Excellent! Amazing! Actually, I often have a stiff neck these days due to the bad flow of my blood. I had been tied up with my job till last month, so I didn't have time to go to donate my blood. I personally think blood donation is a good way to make the flow good and relieve stress, and also it's sort of my volunteer activity. In fact, I always never have a stiff neck for a while after blood donation. For me, blood donation isn't a way of "Getting 2 birds with one stone. (一石二鳥 いっせきにちょう)", it's a way of "Getting 3 birds with one stone(一石三鳥 いっせきさんちょう)". haha.
