As I was flipping through my well-worn copy of Laurel's Kitchen, a bookmark fell out.
It was a card from a doctor's appointment, and I was surprised to see that it was from 2016. That was the last time I saw a doctor, and it's a visit that I remember vividly.
At the time, I had noticed a suspicious blemish on my skin, and I reluctantly decided to seek medical attention.
The doctor I saw took one look and referred me to a cancer specialist. I was fortunate to have a skilled and experienced specialist who took care of the issue promptly and effectively.
The blemish was surgically removed, and I was relieved to know that it no longer posed a threat to my health.
I feel grateful that I haven't needed to see a doctor since then. Good health is a precious gift, and I believe that it's essential to take care of ourselves to maintain it.

I haven't been to a GP since....2017...I think...I was tested for hypermobility and was given some physical therapy to learn to stabilize my "loose parts". I have friends who are a generation or two older than me telling me I will need to pay attention to this later on in life just like them.....but the difference between me and them aside from age or sex is, well, I don't have a hedonic treadmill to constantly justify my "way of life". Their remedy is dependence on the system after a lifetime of asbestos and leaded gas. My remedy leans more toward dharma or minimalism, away from this system in the states -E.V.
ReplyDeleteDependency on the system leaves one open to predation, bankruptcy, and death. May your remedy be beneficial to you and your health. It certainly will not hurt.
