re looking tan and being healthy- right unless your doctor starts lecturing you about sun screen and skin cancer.

Whenever the nurse takes my pulse and bp she always has to do it twice to "make sure I'm alive."

One of the times I fell the ER doctor wanted to keep me in overnight and run all sorts of cardio tests becuse of my bp and heart rate. I finally convinced him to call my regular MD and talk to her . He ket going on about my "circle of willis being starved" and that I was obviously brachyocardic.

My regular Dr. is a sensible older Irish woman who says as long as I don't have to "shift the coffin lid in the morning to get out of bed" that I am doing well.
