As you know I had my Fire Service medical yesterday so I just thought I'd let you know how it went.

Unexpectedly it was a full MOT including pulse, blood pressure, height, weight, eye sight, full lung function test, urine check, hearing and fitness test -- the whole thing went on for over one and a half hours.

Pulse Of A Teenager
So, a break down of how my medical went:

• pulse: "the pulse of a teenager" (her words), so I guess that's good
• blood pressure: absolutely fine -- on previous checks it was always "elevated due to excess weight"
• lung function: above average for all; this was good to know as for a number of years I had suffered from wheezing and needed an inhaler for asthma
• fitness test: above average, well within the pass range
• all other checks: passed

Quite A Journey
I was always going to be pleased as I knew how far I'd come, but to pass everything with flying colours is great, quite a journey in less than a year -- this is testament to your amazing inspiration and guidance, you're brilliant.

— Thank you, Darren
