Well, the doctor told me I was healthy as can be so now he wants me to take Vitamin D, get a pap-smear, a colonoscopy and a mammogram. ughh. I need to get my eyes checked. I'm not thrilled with the oddity from my doctor this visit. I lost weight, my blood pressure is wonderful, I feel so much better and all in 23 days of total restructuring my lifestyle. He warned me with serious tones, three years ago on my last visit. When he told me I was healthier than an ox, to not worry but now lets go looking for those unseen monsters that might be lurking because you know everyone dies, well, I lost interest in it all.
I'm concerned about heart healthiness. We didn't talk that because he saw an improvement. I went for advice on how to maintain it, nothing, no advice.
I get more encouragement from the people here, those on blogs and on Facebook. I'm going to see if I can get my eyes taken care of then I'll begin with the least evasive tests first. (trying not to let his "doctorly urges to hunt down monsters" discourage me.)
That's all for now.

I am not sure if I understand your commentary. You said your doctor told you that you are doing great but wants to do preventative testing that could catch cancer early when it is more treatable. It sounds like the doc is looking after you to keep you on the great path you established. Pap smears, mammograms and colonoscopies save lives all the time.

I know, you are right. I'm just frustrated because I had some serious issues heart and arterial related and through diet and exercise, it's like I've become a new person. Last time they went on a witch hunt they found a lump in my husband's lung which lead to the worst year of our lives. I had told them that every year, he gets a lung infection. A year later, lump still present, having them stumped, he was scheduled to have it removed, that same annual illness hit him and they gave him antibiotics. Hallelujah, the lump was gone. I call doctors in their attempts to prevent illness the western medicine way, they go looking for monsters.
The monster in my life is the one that haunted every other generation in my family. It seems the monster has left me but now, I get to go look for stuff in the name of prevention. For me, nutrition and activities are real prevention.
I just want to live the rest of my life however long it is, in vibrant health. Heart disease is frightening enough.
Of course, I'll schedule the other tests, and I won't have to have them again due to my age factor.

You have the right attitude. Live healthy and eat well and be as physical as you can. The one factor that is the equalize is the box”C”. The prevention stuff tries to catch that early if needed. Keep up the good work.

Isleham1, thank you. I took your advice and tapped on 3 of the 5 tests to send in appointment requests.
