Have my annual coming up in early February, going to press the doc for tests, even if it becomes out of pocket. Medicare and Medicare Advantage can get pissy about tests! I guess I can go to the VA, but I really don't want to open that can of worms here in Denver, hell we cannot get a hospital built on budget or open. Glad everyone is coping, so far no big C, other than a bunch of SUN exposure fun and games. Take care, we get older and I want to continue for another 10 or 15.
One thing I like about the health service here is you get to go for regular check ups. In the UK they wait for to get something and then treat it! My Dad got colon cancer at 42 and died at 47 and I had some other family members die of cancer on my Dad's side so where was I on 9/11? having my first colon check, and have been on cancer watch since then. I try to maintain healthy life so I wish all of you the best in life.
Quick update. I was released Friday afternoon. It will take a good six weeks for my blood to get back to normal. I get winded walking to the mailbox, but that will improve gradually. CD
