Well, I finally got harped on enough!!

[always quiet]

If anyone knows me, they know I DO NOT like going to the doctors. No way, no shape, no form! It's been a couple few years since I have had a check up so I gave into all the nagging and I am going for a check up this Friday morning. I figured with all the other doctor visits I have made with my DH, DF, and the 3 kids, I had been there enough!! If I looked like death warmed over, someone would of noticed it eventually!! Now, with all this being said.........I still have 4 days to cancel!!

try not no think of it as something you are doing for you,

think of it as doing something great for those who love you.

believe me, I know, I work in a funeral home.

Good for you, Colleen. You have to be healthy too, you know.

I am like you, I hate going to the doctor and I cancel a lot of my appointments. However, it is important to go - just try not to think about it.

Don't you cancel! I just had my physical two weeks ago. I'm fine. However, I went two years between physicals because I was all tied up in taking care of my mother and neglected my own physical well being.

You need to take care of <i>yourself</i> as well as others, sweetie. Don't you cancel, okay?

 

[doxdogy]

I am just like you are. DON'T cancel.

No, that doesn't count!

I also get nervous before an appointment, my pulse gets out of control when the nurse checks it. However, I would feel worse if I didn't go. Does that make sense?

Don't cancel!

Believe it or not, I WORK for doctors but never GO TO the doctor! I hate it just as much as anyone else!

I know that's not a good excuse though. I should go, and GOOD FOR YOU for getting a check up. After its done, you'll be glad youn did it!

Hi,

Go to your appt. I have neglect my health and now I am paying the price! I dislike doctors and I live in a med community. You just never know what's around the corner these days.

I forced my DAd to get a physical 13 years ago -- I mean I pitched a fit, even threw a glass of water at him (I had just given birth in my defense, a little emotional!). Turns out he had prostate cancer and it probably saved his life. I'm sure you have a clean bill of health but go! Although I shouldn't talk, I have delayed getting my cholesterol checked for 2 years since my brother died of a heart attack. I have the scrip, just have to get it done. I'm doing it this month. The ob-gyn just ordered me a bunch of tests to be done, fun, fun .
