Doctors visit!

It’s still hot though no sun shines just now. I’ve stayed close to home during the week....but I do have to go out later....
Driving over to the next village means I shall set off with plenty of time to spare. Finding parking places is a recurrent problem during the busy months.
I have been called in to see the doctor!
I have an old fashioned view on going to the doctors....If I’m ill I go. If I’m not I don’t.
So I’ve avoided all calls on me for months...years even...
I have had my blood pressure taken by the nurse occasionally but it’s years since I saw a doctor.....my choice not theirs...
During the period when my husband was very ill I saw our lovely young doctor most days. He even turned up daily when David was in the care home.
I like him. I’ve avoided going to see him during the last four years because I just don’t want to know!
If there is anything wrong with me I’d rather just carry on enjoying life until it finally catches me up.
I have this conversation regularly with a friend who is even older than me.
She was a doctor. We both agree that a quick exit is much to be desired.
We have even had a couple of talks about ways and means....
I’m not finding my life onerous at the moment, indeed I am aware of my great good fortune in being a reasonably active old woman.
So I avoid my doctor just in case he gives me any bad news.
However I seem not to be able to dodge this one. He’s pinned me down!
The best I can hope is that a huge thunderstorm will strike just as I’m setting off...
I’m not really as anxious about all this as I sound....I just needs to get it over with...weather permitting!
