Dont worry about it Coonman.
It is what it is,and you cannot change anything by worrying about what ifs.
Wait until your doctor appointment and deal with whatever you have to deal with.
Many many people deal with all kinds of stuff.Remain stoic.
Stoicism is something we all should practice,in a nutshell stoicism is not worrying about and acept the things you cannot change and change or deal with the things you can head on.
Practicing stoicism will remove great burdens from your mind and soul.

This year has been rough. Many many appointments and nearly 20k in doctors bills with no diagnosis. Good luck with the scope. I had the numbing gel the it was 45 minutes before performing the scope. Wasn’t very numb anymore and all to find out their camera tube wasn’t long enough.

I figured they set the retirement age at 65 because you would never make a full months work without needing a day off for the doctor visits
many people a day a week

my parents by 63 were at the Dr every week sometimes a few times between themselves and taking their parents


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Doctors find things wrong with you.
$$$.
Know a guy that lived till 93. Never seen a doc in his life.
Another that was 87. Went 1 time to get antibiotics for a dog bite at about age 80.That made him sick . He didn't go back..
I've seen 1 doc about 15 years ago. (59) now.
Spent 1/2 hour with him and cost me 450.00$. Cute nurse took my blood pressure and he lectured me on not eating fried foods.

We're all gonna die!!.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

In 2019, my doctors found colon cancer and kidney cancer within two weeks of each other. Both required surgery but no radiation or chemo because they we found early. I'd hate to think what could have developed in the five years since diagnosis. It pays to stay on top of your health.

A good friend of mine once said, "I don't plan to die from the cheap stuff". Take care of your health and your future. Get those recommended checkups.

I am with you! I haven't been to a doctor in probably close to 10 years. The only reason to go to a doctor is if Super Glue won't stop the bleeding. Spoiler alert! We are all going to die sometime and I am not wasting any time worrying about something that I can't change.


I have nothing clever to put here.

For every guy/gal that never went to the Doc and lived to 90 there’s another thousand that died in their 60’s but could’ve lived to their 90’s had they went. I like the odds of finding something out early and shooting for triple digits.

More power to you if that is what you want. I have no desire to have my life revolve around doctors appointments, attending friends funerals and hoping I can make it to the toilet on time. Men in my family tend to die young and that is just fine with me. You want to live to be 100 and I hope that you make it to 110 then.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Had a friend pass away earlier this year @ 84. He couldn't hardly get out of the recliner he was in. Had sores that wouldn't hardly heal, fell a lot, and had no energy. I wouldn't wish his last couple of years on anybody. He said for his last two years he wished it would end; he was ready to go. Like it says in the bible about the evil years. Death was a sweet release for him.

My aunt lived to be 98 and when she was about 90 she said it wasn't all it was cracked up to be as all her friends and people she had things in common with were all dead.

They’re gonna find me leaned up against an old pine with my turkey gun across my lap and a spent shell ejected out the side. I’ve told my son before any calls are made to find my turkey before worrying about getting me out of there!
