Taking Care Of Business Of A Different Kind

Although not the most pleasant way to start the day it's something that just has to be done. This is the only Doctor I have committed myself to see on a yearly basis. A about a year and a half ago I started paying for specialized testing which gets the results back within a week. Prior to that I just did the usual test, imagine my surprise 6 months after the fact when I got a call from his secretary to tell me that there was something obscure about my last test. Really ..... it to over 6 months for the hospital to process it? I didn't get the all clear till after 3 more intensive tests which I paid for. All I could think of was that they wasted 6 months of valuable time. That's when I decided to pay and get the best testing possible from now on. I used to be the shyest person but not anymore, there is absolutely no reason for embarrassment I just think happy thoughts and it's over before you know it. It's better to be safe than sorry.



Of course there's the usual breast exam. Mentioned to him that I've been having major issues with tenderness. His advice was to give up caffeine!


Oh No!!!! Coffee and tea are such good fillers when your tummy is growling. How unjust is that, just one more of life pleasures that I need to surrender. I have yet to find a decaf coffee here that is worth drinking, decaf herbal teas are passable. His suggestion for losing weight "eat right, eat less; its a lifestyle change". I told him I already do that, "well keep at it, its not easy to lose weight" was his response. Good to know!

List of don'ts keeps growing. My my this is getting complicated, before you know it I'll be left with nothing but plain old dirt on my plate.
