Well…as you know, I now finally have insurance and am going through the process of finding out if there are any time bombs that are ticking that need to be taken care of…so far, I’ve found that my BP and cholesterol are a little high but not high enough for treatment and I am fixing those through lifestyle changes…with some movement on the BP already after only 10 days or so but I won’t know about the cholesterol until I go back in in 90 days….today, I had my first appointment with a dermatologist to take a look at the sore that wouldn’t heal and also to look at the precancerous lesions that are all over my face…well…he treated 10 spots of actinic keratosis which could turn into cancer if not treated…with a sprayer of nitrogen so I look really blotchy right now…but, also took two biopsies that he thinks may be skin cancer but not melanoma…so it can be treated quite easily…and I won’t die from it…will know early next week where we go from here…it is nice to get started taking care of this stuff that I have had to put off for so long with no insurance….really takes a load off knowing instead of all of the uncertainty…yay, Medicare!
