An Early Morning Spanking Prolongs your Life
So I got my butt whopped, figuratively, this morning by my doctor. Went for my biannual physical check up, yes, it has been two years since I got a check up 
Two years since I went off my meds, and two years since I really did anything to take care of myself.
I walked in the office, and the first thing they do, after they tell you to change into the hospital gown and have your butt air out, is to take your blood pressure. Mine was 190/104. That’s when the bells and whistles started going off. They kept asking me if I was feeling ok. Well, if I was feeling ok, I guess I wouldn’t have been there this morning, would I? The thing is, I have had a splitting headache for about a week now. Normally, my headaches go away with some meds. This time though, it hasn’t gone away. I’ve been taking two motrins in the morning and another two at night, and the headaches keep coming back. I have one now.
So, apparently, these darn headaches are my body’s way of telling me my BP has gone haywire and are threatening to burst. So I am back on BP meds, two of them. And just to continue my punishment for not taking care of myself, she has scheduled me for my first mamogram. Yuck! Oh, she also gave me a tetanus shot that is still hurting my arm like heck. But, what the heck, these things are supposed to prolong my life if they don’t kill me first.
