Hubby's Doctor Visit

Today, hubby had a regular doctor visit. I had encouraged this because he's been complaining about several things recently, and felt like he would feel better once he heard the doctor tell him what I've been telling him for months -- he's getting older and things get tired quicker than they used to. He had several tests run while the doctor was seeing him, and had a very good exam from the doctor himself. *I* was the one that had to tell the doctor what he has been telling me for a while now, and he checked out each complaint as best he could. His conclusion - - Hubby is getting older and things get tired quicker than they used to. Also, he may have been having some instances of low sugar levels occasionally, and that would explain a couple of dizzy spells and also some of his memory loss. Low sugar levels make you lose brain cells. QUICK -- get the chocolate. I don't have any brain cells to spare. Hubby has a strong heart and good blood circulation as well as pinpoint blood pressure for his age and weight. His sugar is under control really well, and he should have a lot of good years left. That was a real relief to have the doctor say that instead of me assuring him that all was well. Like hubby said on the way home after the appointment, "He went to school a long time to learn what he knows." My reply: "Yes, but I learned all I know at the school of hard knocks." There were a lot of times when our children were small that we couldn't afford to go to the doctor for every little thing and I had to dig into my old home remedies to keep them healthy. They all grew up healthy and strong, so I must have learned something along the way. It's good to know that he'll be around a while longer. I've kind of gotten used to having him and his careing ways close to me.
