Wednesday, how I love thee.
This week, Wednesday is my favourite day. It would have been Tuesday, but since I slept away 14 hours of said day, there wasn't much for me to like about it.
Today, I am off for my over-due physical.
I know it is over-due, because my doctor called me to schedule.
Yep, we LUV our family doctor.
While transferring her patient files to her new office she noticed that I have not been in for my check-up. I did not go last year. Now, i have been to the doctors, but it seems like i have only gotten sick on a weekend, or March break, when she has not been open. Yesterday, i stopped by her office, which is now walking distance from our home. The receptionist, Theresa, greeted me warmly and then gave me the once over for not having kept up with my check-ups. Which resulted in me booking one...for today.
There are some health issues that need to be addressed...now that i fall into the "middle-aged" category... that I KNOW need to be addressed. But i have this thing about going to the doctor. I will make sure Papa, Keith, Munch and Bug all see the doc when need be, but for myself...there just never seems to be enough time in the day.
This is wrong.
With a family history of diabetes and cancer... I need to be more diligent in taking care of myself.
I need to get off my ever expanding ass and do something about it.
SO today, i go to the doctors.
Where she will poke and prod and give me all sorts of tests and blood work that i need to have done. We will talk about why i have not done the things i should..and i will take the tongue lashing I deserve.
I cannot take care of everyone else if my own health is not where it should be.
I am thinking that when all is said and done, maybe I will like TUESDAY better.
