Because of Tim Russert

Tim Russert's death spooked me. I had been somewhat cavalier about my health. High Blood Pressure? Yeah, sometimes I took the pills. Stent in my chest? yeah, avoid the heart doctor. Skin cancer? Put off yearly check-ups. Why? Good question. One, I don't like doctors. Not since I saw them use my sister as a pin cushion in the guise of helping her. Two, because I sorta thought it would not happen to me. Like somehow I was invincible.
I've always had amazing energy. Knocked down, I always refigured things and came back. I started my main career at 36. I can be amazingly single minded.
But Russert's death somewhat changed that. I had noticed my body taking longer to recover. I was tired more. So I've embarked on a round of tests; bloodwork. So far.....I'm a borderline diabetic. I have my blood pressure under control. I take my pills. I'm changing my diet to control my sugar. I have a nuclear stress test in two weeks. That will tell me about my heart (if they can find it....lol).
I expect to be doing my work for awhile.
