Pissing in a Tube, but Don't Piss in the Tube

The secretary at my local GP asked me to bring a sample of my urine for the nurse. So, this morning, I had the fun of trying to piss inside a tiny tube without making a mess. At the doctor's, I handed the tube to the nurse and she stuck a white strip of paper in it. Turns out my glucose levels are normal and I have no urinary infection. Aren't you delighted to know?

Other facts gathered today:

Height: 1.81metres (5feet 11inches)
Weight: 71 Kg (my ideal weight is supposedly 75 Kg)
Body Mass Index: 21.8
Blood Pressure: 115/65 ("That's excellent!" she exclaimed)

I've made an appointment to see a doctor on Tuesday because my right foot has been hurting for two weeks now. Henrique said I might have an inflammed tendon which could get worse if I don't treat it. It's probably because I've been wearing the same pair of shoes for 4 years now and they are starting to fall apart.

On a sort-of-related point: I want to buy hiking shoes, a pair of spiffy boots and some new clothes. But, to do that, I need money... lots of money...
