Hello Folks,
After having spent the last 4 days in the hospital, I just want to remind you all to listen to your bodies!! When you think something is wrong, there usually IS something wrong. Even when you pay attention, like I did, things can sneak up on you that require serious actions.
Surgery is NOT fun and recovery sometimes hurts more than the cause of your problem.
Ladies, as much as we hate the stirrups, get your checkups! It can mean the difference between life and death. Between checkups, STILL pay attention. I did and they found a tumor. It's not fun to hear the following,"It seems that there is a tumor that needs immediate action." WHAT??? Yep, tumor. So they start the "tests." They get out their knives. They put you "under." GRRRRRR It's not fun. This was under the best scrutiny. Imagine what happens when you IGNORE your health!!!!!
If you haven't had a yearly exam *pap smear, etc*, go get one. The American Cancer Society also provides information on self breast exams that you can do every time you shower. Cover all your bases, it's the only body you've got.
Men, you too! You have people who love you and would hate to see you gone for lack of a few hours paying attention to your health. Get thee to a doctor!
OK, this ends your public service announcement.
Joby, who will also be away for a while and now ya know why.
