Take Care Part II March 12, 2009

The first leg of my own personal Take Care Campaign was completed today.  The biannual teeth cleaning rounded out my preventive Dr.’s appointments for 2009.

Have you had your health checked?  Hate to say it, but I’ve heard an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure….

Pick up that phone.  Make those phone calls, Ladies.

• dentist
• gyno
• mammo
• dermo

There may be more or less appointments needed…I guess it depends on one’s age.  Call your friends, moms, daughters, daughters-in-law.  Take advantage of what we now know about staying healthy and living longer!

Take Care January 10, 2009

Since 2008 turned into 2009, I’ve been irritated by the little bur in my head thattells me I need to have my annual exams.  I finally put “make appointments” on my calendar.  I have 3 appointments now for Jan/Feb to the gyno, the mammo, and the dermo.  It’s your turn!  

This is your reminder to make appointments with your doctors to have all of those annual exams.  Here’s what you do:

• decide what check-ups you need
• find the phone numbers now and put them in your phone ( I know it’s Saturday and nobody is there, but….)
• set a reminder on your phone to ding on Monday morning
• make those calls and get your appointments set up
• do a little shopping afterward…

Encourage each other to take care!  We owe it to each other, to our families, and to all those women who are fighting for their lives.
