Today is one of those days I'm not very fond of. My monthly trip to the doctors that I somehow only find time for once a year. Actually I wouldn't go that often if I didn't have to get her to renew my blood pressure medication prescriptions.Actually it started off well. I weighed in at 195 lbs. (I haven't been under 215 since I retired from the Navy in 1988). Then we found out the scale was off. I actually was a robust (spell that fat) 220 lbs. The next phase was the blood pressure. I felt optimistic at 145 over something, until she pointed out that last year I was 130 over something. Then came the dreaded bloodletting ceremony. This time I was pleasantly surprised. There is a new medical assistant and she was right on target with the needle. One puncture and SHAZAAM, three full tubes of blood. Finally I got my 3 minutes with the doctor she rearranged a few of my meds and told me to come back in 30 days. (I'll have to check my schedule and see if I'm available than). I took my wheelbarrow load of prescriptions and dropped them off at the pharmacy to pick up tomorrow. (I know I should have bought stock in some of these drug companies. Between my wife and I we must be paying the bonus's of at least three vice-presidents and a cleaning lady.) Oh well enough complaining for now.
Thanks for listening.... ☺☺☺☺
