A man is sitting on that examining table, the Dr. is standing in front of him looking at his chart. The man says, " I know, you're just going to keep looking till you find something aren't you.<br /><br />It's always a good thing when you can walk out of the Dr's office with a clean bill of health.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-72617197081699420212019-09-13T17:27:17.342-07:002019-09-13T17:27:17.342-07:00Visits to the medical folks seems to get more comp...Visits to the medical folks seems to get more complicated the older we get.

But the next time I was 5'4 again... (I believed this was due to Yoga... and stretching ?) I haven't done Yoga in the last 2 years.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-8397489920963751732019-09-12T16:19:33.768-07:002019-09-12T16:19:33.768-07:00Thanks, Patti.

We don't go to a doctor for conversation. Hope your oncologists visit is just as innocent.

I have my blood drawn a week before my visit, then we can talk about anything it finds different. I like my doctor these days, although I've only had the same primary care physician for a couple of years now. They keep changing. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-46034691163323398712019-09-11T15:37:36.032-07:002019-09-11T15:37:36.032-07:00Mae, I would think that it's fairly common for...Mae, I would think that it's fairly common for one's bp to rise when at a doctor's office (mine goes nuts at the dentist too).Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-28055401384493084772019-09-11T15:04:54.903-07:002019-09-11T15:04:54.903-07:00I'm similar to you in that my BP always rises ...I'm similar to you in that my BP always rises when I go to the doctor. <br /><br />My hopes are that your visit to the oncologist shows you are still in the clear.
