Staying Motivated for the Long Haul

@contentandwell my "physical" was more of a brief conversation. I'm not sure how I felt about it after I left. I guess I was thinking more should have been done. This was my first time with a new doctor. I'll maybe go to someone else next year.
We are 5 hours from Rochester, so we stayed there for almost a month. Tim needed to be close for 3 weeks post transplant for appointments. Thank God for Gift if Life house! Staying at a hotel would have been so expensive.

@jodeej You are right, a hotel would have been very expensive I imagine, these days they all are. The only time we used one for a medical reason was before I was supposed to have my first knee replacement. I had to be there very early in the morning so we stayed at Marriott close by, and I had Marriott points so it was free. Gotta love those points.
Your physical does sound overly brief. I can't believe how thorough my PCP wanted to be. He even wanted to do an EKG but they are only recommended something like every three years and I had one before my knee replacement in October so I told him NO. He did push to do a breast exam despite my telling him I have an appointment with my gynecologist later this month. I think he wanted to do all he could because the hospital he is affiliated with encourages that to pad the bill. I have become extremely negative about that hospital. I hope I never have to be in there again.
