EKG, X-ray
Anemia blood-letting
Warranty expired
Been putting off some routine medical tests, but I finally got around to scheduling several of them recently. Had my blood pressure checked (all good), had my first EKG (heart is in excellent shape), got a chest X-ray, and a nice phlebotomist liberated a couple of vials of blood. I’m also supposed to schedule a pulmonary function test, but I’m going to wait on that until I get my lab and X-ray results.
Seems I get a little winded when I really shouldn’t (think: getting out of breath just showering and dressing). I’m thinking age and excess baggage is the problem, but the medical professionals are concerned it may be something else. Meh.
For now, I’m staying away from Dr. Google and waiting to hear back from my primary doc.

You’re wise to avoid self-diagnosing via the internet. I’ve had a small pain in my knee lately. After doing a search online, I was worried I had a torn meniscus. Hope all turns out well for you and that you’re more right than the doctors.

Definitely stay off the internet medical sites, otherwise you will discover you have some rare, tropical disease only contracted from the Galapagos tortoises.
Seriously, though, getting older kind of sucks, so best of luck with those tests!

I hate Doctor Google. He’s such a pessimist. Fingers crossed that all goes well and that they figure out answers for you – with easy solutions – soon. Stay safe and healthy!

You are SO smart to stay away from Dr. Google. I can never resist and then I end up with a nasty case of hypochondria! Sending positive thoughts your way!

now, don’t you go worrying me…because I adore you. I hope you are ok. I am glad that all the preliminary tests show normal stuff.
I’ll be keeping you in my VERY GOOD THOUGHTS for the rest.
