Well, I went for my physical the other day and got mixed answers. It seems I'm not in too bad health for a 57 year old who's been smoking for 40 years. The Doctor did hear something she didn't like in my guts. That being what could be an aneurism in my aorta down around my stomach area.
I'm scheduled for an ultrasound this coming Tuesday to check the condition of my aorta. Naturally I am a bit concerned but I do have the Good Lord watching over me.
Also they want to do a colonoscopy on me which I dread but as long as my insurance covers it and I probably need one (way overdue) I signed up for. I'm just not in any way looking forward to fasting, drinking the "go lightly" juice and having a camera shoved up my butt.
I do ask y'all pray that my results of the ultrasound and colonoscopy are as good as can be.
The best thing about my physical or "wellness exam" was they can test a prostate through blood screening. My doctor said it's supposed to be more accurate than the invasive, finger up the butt test. As long as they already had my blood and insurance covered it I said "Hell, yes! Run the test!"
I did go the the eye doctor the day after my physical and got mixed results again. My eyes are not much worse than before but I am slowly developing cataracts.Anyway, thank God for insurance. After insurance picked up their part of the bill I still had to pay over $300.
It ain't easy nor cheap getting old but I thank God for letting me get old.
