You know what? From this day forward I'm going to do my best to adopt this attitude.
*ignore it, Linda, stop obsessing over every little thing that bothers you*
I guess I'm just not ready to get old yet. Yet I just have to face the fact that as I get older, I'm going to have more and more little problems here and there as my body begins to wear out. It's just the way it is. But you're right, Patsy... if there's something SERIOUSLY wrong, I'll know it.
I've been to the doctor more in the last 6 months than I have in the last 6 years. Mostly because she's trying to find a blood pressure and cholesterol med that won't cause me side effects, when I could very well be bringing on those side effects myself.
I think my doctor is the one I'm driving crazy
