Its this guy. A couple of weeks ago I was filling out some forms and they wanted to know who my family doctor was. I never go to the doctor but I thought I better phone my wife’s old doctor to see if she registered me as a client. Turned out she had but the receptionist wasn’t sure if I was a client because I never went for the first time meeting with the doctor. But she said she would check with the doctor to see if he would take me as a client then call me back. When she called back she said the doctor would take me as a client and would like to meet me and set up some tests. I knew those tests would include a blood test but I agreed to meet the doctor anyway. I have only had needles in my arm 2X in my life – when I was a kid and my mommy made me. And the COVID shots to help protect my wife. But this time if I get a blood text needle in my arm it won’t be because I have to - it will be because I want to. And I think that is really really really brave of me. Cheers and happy weekend!
I thought the trick was to fess up to the nurse that I am a big baby and I have a fear of needles – that way the nurse will give me one of the real little needles (my son suggested I do that). Cheers and happy weekend!

I like getting into character so maybe I will wear an extra long red tie and put on a few hundred extra pounds before the test. Cheers and happy weekend!
It is a good way to staying healthy. I’m also starting to think that maybe if I brave the needle I can do some travailing – most of the countries I would like to see require shots before you can enter. Cheers and happy weekend!
Well we will find out soon enough. Tomorrow I meet with the doctor and he will probably want me to get a blood test as soon as possible. I’m starting to look at it like - I am at the age were I should have a good family doctor and I am lucky to have a good doctor because there is a pretty serous doctor shortage around here. Cheers!
Yesterday was just the doctors visit. He just took my blood pressure (which was good) and excepted me as a new patient. He gave me papers for a blood test and a heart test. Now I just got to make an appointment at the clinic. Maybe it will be by Friday. Cheers!
