Okay, I’m not saying all fear – because some things I’m just not going to be able to get over, like my fear of heights, or my fear of spiders, or my fear of sitting next to stinky people in Jail overnight (don’t ask). But, fear of going to the doctor. Everyone has a bit of apprehension when they go to the doctor (I hope they don’t find anything, what if they tell me something is wrong, what if they tell me I need to change my diet, etc., etc., etc.) I have a fear of needles – I don’t know why, I just do. I DO NOT LIKE GETTING SHOTS. How I made it through two pregnancies, I’ll never know, but I did and I am proud to say I got epidurals with both – AND SURVIVED! But that still doesn’t mean I like needles. And for two years my doctor has been telling me that I need to have my cholesterol checked. Which means I have to go to a primary care physician and get a physical. Not something that I am looking forward to, which is why I have been putting it off. But this is my year of conquering things and letting go – so I am going to let go of my fear of needles, and physicals, and I am going to schedule my annual physical. And from here on out, I am going to go every year and get one – EVERY YEAR! Here’s to a healthy me! Who’s with me?
