now that you're fifty.......

ok, so the mm spent a few spare moments on the telephone making appointments for everything checkupable.....eyes, teeth, privates (times 2)...ain't taking any chances with the female parts.......and it was the lady at ukmarkey center who explained that i qualified for the ovarian cancer screening program...now that i was fifty.......and told me all about ovarian cancer and then told me that i'd have to wait til midjuly to find out if i have it.......omg.......it wasn't something i worried about until i had to wait to find out i don't have it........thank heavens i do not have suspicious moles, lumps, or symptoms more specific than being beyond the useby date.......i'd never sleep at all until the results are all in.......a client i saw just yesterday is a mere 2 weeks younger than me and already has lab data suggesting kidney failure........omg......do we just deteriorate rapidly after the midpoint?.........or does it just feel that way on cold rainy mornings in april........
