Time for some routine maintenance

It has been about 10 years now since I last went to the doctor for a physical. I had been thinking of going for a while, but to be honest just never had the motivation to find a doctor (my last doctor of record was a pediatrician, which doesn't work now that I'm 26) and make an appointment. In fairness, I did call a doctor a year or so ago to make an appointment for a physical, but the computer at the doctor's office was down and they couldn't make appointments, and I never called back. My company changed health plans as of this past July (we're on a July 1 - June 30 fiscal year) and the new plans include a routine physical that's 100% covered by the plan every 3 years if you're under 30 and annually after 30 with a company called Executive Health Exams. I'm not sure why I decided to make an appointment now (maybe it was the easy web-based appointment process), but I'm scheduled for 11am today. According to my friends who have done the physical with this group already, I'm in for 2-3 hours of poking, prodding and testing. Here's the list of what they're going to do to me today:

• Complete review of medical history and physical exam (the poking and prodding bit).
• Blood tests: cholesterol screening, complete blood count, metabolic profile, iron saturation and blood chemistry.
• Urinalysis (note to self, drink lots of water before the appointment)
• Audiometric evaluation
• Vision assessment
• Tonometry (glaucoma) test
• Spirometry test (lung function)
• Resting EKG
• Chest X-ray (if deemed medically necessary)

Now I am grateful that my company is picking up such an extensive physical exam program, even though I know they're doing it to try and reduce healthcare costs by detecting problems early. I'm interested to see what the doctors find, and hope it's more than just the typical: "try to lose weight, exercise more and reduce stress." What was stupid of me was scheduling the appointment for late in the morning, since I can't have anything to eat after dinner the night before (stupid blood tests). So basically here's the situation: I haven't had anything to eat since 7:30 last night, and won't have anything to eat until about 2pm this afternoon. Add to that the poking and prodding, and this is not going to be a happy day.
