Sounds like a hypochondriac starting a collection;-)

nah, last time i saw a doctor was 6 weeks after my now 7.5
year old was born.
my mom had been nagging me to get a baseline physical to
check for osteoporosis, blah, blah, for 3 years (since i
turned 50). she died in Feb. (of hospital stupidity. mistakes
were made that could have been easily avoided), so i decided i
probably should do what i promised.
the thyroid might explain the 20 extra baby pounds i just
haven't been able to drop (although having them puts me at
"normal" weight for my height (148/5'8"), i've never been over
128 pounds before & i *feel* like a cow).
since i don't have medical insurance, i can't afford to be a
hypochondriac i do think it allows me to demand better
treatment though. the doctors answer to me, not some for
profit corporation. we'll see if it actually works that way...

The host resolved to NSA.
