It does suck even more when the deaths are people younger than I am. It is kind of a strong reminder of mortality.
I went to my annual "physical" which is mostly just an annuity for the doctors office. It is required by insurance and to have them continue my prescriptions. Since I am an official geezer they have to ask several silly questions. Do I use an walking aids like a cane, have trouble driving, feeling depressed, and other dumb questions.
When the actual doc actually came in his first question was how do you feel? I answered my standard reply to all "how ya doing" greetings, with FANTASTIC. I don't hurt or have any pain, I can get around just fine, I can do what I want, when I want, and eat pretty much whatever I want. I was sick once, I hated that, so I don't do that anymore. It is against my religion. He apologized for running a little late. He said his first patient of the day ended up going to the ER for treatment.
Evidently I passed all the questions because the let me go home.
They did draw blood, but no pee test.
