I know, I know—I am a worrier. Wasted time and all that. Well, this time it was!
I decline to get weighed at doctors—I just say no. Guess my weight, write FAT, ask me for a number, anything, but don’t try to get me in a power play over the scale.
This new doctor’s office said, no problem, lots of people don’t want to get weighed.
Whoa, wait a hot second, am I in heaven?
The new primary was nice, smiling, listened to my ramblings, seemed like she would recognize me if I came before her again. She ordered a cholesterol test…I said I am not taking a statin..She said there are other things and we don’t even know if you need anything.
A test, then a drug—this was new. My mother once had a doctor who handed me a prescription for a harsh osteoporosis drug for her. I said does she need this? They said, “Well, she’s old.”
So, this was good. Still, I think a little worry is OK when it comes to health.

You probably already know how important regular dental visits are for keeping your teeth and gums in good shape -- besides brushing and flossing, a biannual checkup might be the best thing you can do for your oral health. But what you might not know is that there's a strong relationship between your oral health and your overall health, so taking good care of your mouth is a big part of taking care of your whole body.
