I just* turned 40 this month. I think about these things, and the progression of getting older in regards to my health. It's not easy in the slightest, but for me personally - I would rather spend a few minutes being uncomfortable and working through that, than worrying about "what if's" and shoulda, woulda, coulda....if something, God forbid were to happen or come up.

Peace of mind is what gets me through it.

Just now seeing this, sorry....

First? Don't call me the smasher, it hurts my feelings :blink:
Second? (seriously) I always did my best to "read" people whilst going through all of those pesky questions, they weren't pesky at all....gave me a chance to talk and put you at ease to the best of my abilities. I had a very specific job to perform within a professional scope of criteria set before me according to practice standards, I always said exactly what I was going to do, before I did it so there was no surprise, never a touch without explanation or warning. I flunked at speed, but made it up with patient satisfaction :). Humor is our friend!

I have my yearly physical scheduled of the 4th of September. I am not looking forward to being poked and proded like cattle going to market however I just suck it up! What I really hate is not eating anything after midnight so they can stick me with a needle to extract my lifes blood for whatever test my Dr thinks my blood needs. Of course then my Dr will cut orders for me to go to "smasher" and I don't have anything to smash...and all those other tests that are required for my age.

The one thing I am going to look forward to after my physical is having a nice greasy bacon and chicken pizza and wash it down with a nice cold beer! That always rights my ego!

First off Arcstriker, chicken and bacon pizza is NASTY...sure we went on a C/B pizza kick a couple summers ago, but really? I thought our collective cholesterol diet pallet had matured since then!

Now that said, I thank God every day that you never got boobs. Lisalysa<---Not a fan of boobs.

Hey Lola,:bunchflowers:

I am sorry.I did not want to hurt your feelings.Sometimes i use different words for stuff i am uncomfortable talking about.Like this stuff.I do agree using humor to take a little awakwardness away.I have no dought you act in a professional manner.That is a respectful job that needs to be done.I would rather go through the discomfort for a few minutes a year insted of worring about something that doesnt need to be worried about.A big Thank You for picking that profession to help us all out.I always tell myself dont look down,dont look down,dont look down.Last time i looked down.Felt a little queezzeee.Lesson learned.
I do apologize Lola.(f)
