Well…just got back from my first visit to the doctor in 16 years and it doesn’t look too bad so far…my blood pressure was a little high but the doctor thinks it was the antihistamine I’ve been taking for my allergies..oh, and I do like my new doctor…seems to be a good guy and took lots of time just talking about exercise, vaccines, and other health stuff…so it was a pleasant surprise. It was cool that I planned for blood work and they have a lab in the same building so I got that taken care of along with getting a flu shot and a pneumonia vaccine, too…and there is no bruising where they drew the blood so that is a bonus…the doctor wants me to get a colonoscopy in the next month or so and that will be covered, too, and I am curious if there are any problems…so far, the doctor seems to be happy about my health other than the borderline blood pressure and it is cool that all of the work I’ve been doing on the bike and working out has been having some effect….now, I can’t wait to see where my cholesterol is with bingeing on burgers this weekend…oh, well…don’t have prescription coverage so I probably won’t do anything about it even if it is high…having a doctor again makes me feel like I’m a little more connected to normalcy again and that is not a bad thing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
