Like so many 80-somethings, my last week included two medical appointments—taking up the better part of two days.  My “wellness visit” was mostly a chat with my primary care physician and some tests that he ordered..

I’ve received my healthcare for more than 50 years from the same organization, but with four different primary care physicians.  My current M.D. has so many patients that my time with him is precious, but I have his full attention when we meet.

I remember physician number two telling me, “You’re healthy as a horse”.  I don’t hear that anymore, but we did make another appointment for a year for now. 

Pretty optimistic.  I hope he’s right.
