Getting old sucks!
Just went to my preventative annual physical, just so I can get my thyroid prescriptions renewed for my Hashimotos. Not only did I need the standard Pap smear, they want me to get a mammogram as well as the equivalent of a colonoscopy. There was talk about peri-menopause, and somehow she talked me into getting the HPV vaccine since you never know if/how long I will outlive Joe, and they’re only approved until age 45, which I’ll be tomorrow - she scared me with 70 year old ladies still needing Pap smears. And to add insult to injury, they didn’t tell me I might get a fever and have a very sore arm until after they gave me the shot!
