For the most part, doctors are not the answer. The medical profession now is awful. Do you ever get examined by a doctor? Do they even remember to at least listen to your heart? I had to remind my doctor about this at my last visit. They just look at the computer but not at you. I was asked about my back pain. I thought he was crazy. I do not have back pain. They don't look at your chart. I had a dermatologist prescribe a topical solution that raised my blood sugar. I don't see her anymore. I will be 90 on my next birthday. How did I become so old? I don't look old and I don't feel old, but the fact remains that I am. I live alone and don't need personal care. I need a house cleaner and a gardener, which I have. I call myself a survivor. When I was 10 years old I contracted Scarlet Fever. Remember back then there were no drugs. They put me in a special hospital for communicable diseases - in isolation. I was there for quite a while, but I survived. Without the vaccines that we have today, I had every childhood disease. But I survived. Now I have reached the age/stage where I cannot predict how much longer I will survive, but you cannot dwell on it. I am going on a cruise in July, but don't think I will buy any green bananas. (That was a joke.)
