Had another Dr vis today.
Had test results come in, cholesterol is fine (surprise) BP is fine (big surprise) and almost everything else is fine
-except-
I hadn't eaten in a LOOOOONG time, and blood sugar was somewhat above normal range. Poo!
and
PSA is slightly above normal range too.
New Dr seems fine to me, so jumped into the fray and gave some more medical history (surprise for Dr now) and we discussed a few things and decided a hep test was a good idea.
So had another blood draw. Not bothering with an HIV test, just had one, but hep, yeah, better get checked.
Also, he asked about tetanus booster, and I did the math and it's been 20 years, so got up to date on that. I'm doing farm work, easy enough to get cut, scratched or scraped, so best to get it. LOL, though, if not for lockjaw, I would not be here.
Really.
Long ago there was a childless couple, tried for years to have a kid. Nothing. As we've learned anecdotally in the 70's and on, sometimes adopting a kid can 'trigger' a natural conception, much to the surprise of the parents who assumed they were barren. Well, back in the 50's, this wasn't appreciated. Anyhow, the childless couple had some friends in a terrible car wreck, and during their lengthy convalesce, they both contracted lock jaw. In the aftermath of the accident, the childless couple wound up caring for a newborn and a toddler.
LOL, 'biology' mistook the temporary careplan for an actual adoption, and 11 months after getting their infant wards, they delivered a healthy kid of their own!
Any how, the parents in the wreck eventually recovered and got their kids back, and every one in both homes lived happily everafter.
and that's my lock jaw story, anyhow, I digress.
So, I get a referral to a specialist next week (and the other referral later this year is still on) and it looks like I'm getting probed. And not in the fun "Kevin Costner tickles my ovaries" kind of way. Sigh.
And we had to actually bounce the first PSA referral and get a second. The first clinic is one I have done work at, and I know some of the staff and the Dr. too. Well, I don't want people I know 'professionally probing' me. It's just better for me if every one involved is a stranger. I'm funny that way.
Also noticed I need an eye exam. Distance vision is not as crisp, and I'm seeing a discrepancy in resolution right eye vs left too. I'm sure my eyes are fine, these glasses I have are clearly malfunctioning.
So, while I have a great insurance plan, getting things taken care of.
After the first of the year, well, I'll worry about that then . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
