I Love Pink

Okay, it's breast cancer awareness month so I turned back to pink. I remember every October that I go for my Mammogram. That's a good thing. We women all should do that , but sometimes life gets in the way and we forget. I also schedule my physical at this time of year, so I get everything taken care of. I am seeing a new physician, cause I wasn't all cracked up about the last one. I think it's very important to have a decent relationship with your doctor. God knows, there are things that could happen now that I am over forty..., so I am seeing a new Physician that is just starting her practice. This is a strategy of mine, she is just starting up so she will be more attentive and want to do a good job.And be totally up on all the newest what,if we live here many more years, she will pay attention and be more aware of her first patients. That's just my theory...I'll let you know if it actually happens.

I just miss my previous Docs that really knew me and Rob and our kids well. They just seem to really take care of us. I miss that. I knew that my Dr. Brown would make sure that me and my family were healthy. He never left a question unturned, but he would always follow up with me and make sure I felt comfortable with the outcome. I didn't get that drift from the Doc I just left, she seemed distracted and not very thorough. I want someone that gives a rats ass what happens to me, or at least makes me feel that way when I'm in her office. So here I go again starting over. But I think now is the time to do it, while I am basically healthy and don't have any critical problems. Just the getting older problems that are annoying. I want to go to someone , so they know what I'm like before I get too old and crochety, and that may be too late.

What is it with women , that we wait and live through stupid pain that you really don't need to put up with cause we don't want to be wimps. I had abdominal pain for years. It was always once a month and so I attributed it to menstrual problems. No! It was endometriosis. I put up with it for years. Finally , I had it taken care of boom ...gone forever, who needs pain? I had a bad foot for years...finally had that taken care of , bad example, that still hurts...won't do that again. Okay enough of the aches and pains of a middle aged woman. I am going to have my physical...and everyone of my female friends need to have a Mammo this month. It's a good thing. Breast cancer has touched many of my friends and family lives. It's important, Just do it.
