The medical results are in and here's the diagnosis. The medical profession use a lot of big words so I've interperted their findings:
Chest: Appears within normal limits. The heart is normal in size, the lungs and pleural space is clear with no active intrathoracic disease detected. Meaning: Looks good
Hips: Appear well maintained. No significant degenerative changes identified. Bony pelvis is unremarkable. Who says it's unremarkable!
Knees: Shows good maintenance of joint space with no specific arthropathy apparent. No joint fluid or radiopaque loose bodies. No acute fracture or dislocation. Meaning: Not bad for an old fella.
Bone Density: Researcher John at the U of C stated "Overall, I would say your bone health is very good. I was not surprised by the results, mainly for the tibia. The one thing that really surprised me was the values for your radius. I did not think they would be as high as the tibia, but your wrist bones were looking a lot better than I expected. My initial thoughts are that there may be some sort of whole-body effects occurring with your extreme lifestyle over the past year." Meaning: We have to do more testing!
Heart: Normal left ventricular size, wall motion and wall thickness with an estimated left ventricular ejection fraction of approximately 60%. No other significant abnormality is identified. Meaning: The ticker's still going.
Well, that's the Coles notes. I'll be taking more tests during the year so I'll keep you posted.
