I'm gonna have to budget some money aside once a few checks come in before I can even think about setting one up. Somehow hospital bills are no fun, even with a PPO.

Some insurances (read mine) make preventative care free. If you have a PPO, I bet it's free.

Got this done at the hospital during post-op. Besides the obviously broken ankle, everything was in working order! Check.

I've been to the doctor a few times last month and took a lot of tests. Guess I'm good for another five years.
With the stitch I did today, (shaving accident) I now got free health care for the rest of the year.

I'll have to delay this until Monday.

Yesterday someone recommended a doctor, so I will call Monday and make an appointment.

I signed up to a new doctor a month ago, so they checked my blood pressure, weight and height and a urine test for diabetes.

I also had my eye's tested earlier this year.

I can't see me scheduling a full physical anytime soon, but I'll keep it in mind. I'm more keen to visit the dentist: My teeth are really good, I don't want them to go bad now!

I am lucky on this one as right before I moved back to Michigan I had one of these, and to my happiness, I received a clean bill of health. I always fret about whether the cholesterol levels will come back up but they have been decreasing with the methods that I have been taking: See Why I hate Genetics (http://dadofdivas.blogspot.com/2008/07/why-i-hate-genetics.html) & Why I hate Genetics (An Update) (http://dadofdivas.blogspot.com/2008/07/why-i-hate-genetics-update.html).

I do have to mention that the thought of a colonoscopy just gives me the chills and from what I have heard from those that have to get them (all of us after we turn 40 - so I still have some time), it is not pleasant.

So I will just count my blessings that I am healthy now and we will not dwell on the future and live in the present!

I had a complete physical last year when I switched doctors - however, I am due for a full blood workup, so I'll get that done this week.

I'm going to take a bit of a different tangent on this one - I've been wanting to see a good naturopath for a while now, so this has motivated me to get off of my ass and make the phone call on Monday morning to get an appointment.

Had my physical a couple of weeks ago. All checked out. Cholesterol is down from last year, so I happy about that. Blood pressure is back to normal range. stupid working out does keep your heart healthy.
