A taste of the future?

In the past 17 days, I've had a physical, an ultrasound, a biopsy (benign), and, just to top things off, stomach flu. I also have a fistful of referrals for various medical procedures (mammogram, colonoscopy, bone scan, carotid artery scan). Jim has been home for the last two days with a bad cold. Our conversation has centered around health-related topics.

It's beginning to feel like an old folks' home, and I'm not talking one of those active lifestyle retirement communities.

LOL...but it's not funny. So many tests, so many procedures. Days spent agonizing about results. This was not a pre-occupation of youth, for sure! Medical talk was phone talk with the in-laws. And now even I am "high-mainenance"--the gym, the lotions, the water-pik, fresh vegetables, enough sleep. Geez. Glad to see that word "benign"
