Sorry, I have been out touch. New house blues and blessings...
Ok, here are some thoughts.
1. Get Your Colon Checked!
If you are 50 years of age or have a family history of people having colon cancer at early ages, it is time for your colonoscopy. This is a test to check for cancer in your colon. The preparation for this test is not pleasant, but it is necessary. Medications are given to put you in light sleep and someone must drive you there and back.

2. Vision Is Important!
If you are 50 and above, get your eyes checked every 2 yrs or more frequently if directed by a health professional. Need to monitor for glaucoma, retinal diseases, cataracts and bleeds in the eyes...

On a personal note (please bear with me), if you go to a doctors appointment, do not to expect to leave within 10 minutes of arrive. It is not the intent to keep patients waiting for hours. If this is occurring, you may to change doctors, or inquire about times when the office may not be so busy, i.e. the first appointment of the day or after lunch, these appointments generally go pretty fast. But please be patient, listen to music provided in the room or least in my exam rooms...exhale and decrease the stress.
