The checkup

It's time for my annual checkup! Last week I submitted blood samples for this checkup, and today I get the results. I'm expecting to hear the same thing as last year - cholestrol could be better, I need to exercise more, and all the other normal stuff. In and out in 15 minutes! But...the doc has some other news - my PSA level has elevated to 4.49. I know that PSA levels are just an indicator, and not a confirmation that things have taken a turn for the worse. However, more investigation is warranted, and the doc sets me up for a referral.
