Good Idea?
Had an appointment today with a nurse and then my Doctor that is part of my Medicare Plan that is to give me the tools to stay healthy which in turn is to keep me from using the insurance.  Actually a good idea and hard to imagine that it was the government's idea.  I was greeted by the interview nurse and was, I hate to admit, instantly saying to myself, "this is a joke".  The nurse whose goal is to convince me of the things I may need to change was quite a bit overweight.  I remember telling a friend one time that he should not get investment advice from his father because his father had not done any successful investing.  I'm to follow advice from someone that appears to be unable to follow their own advice?  Even though I thought the nurse was extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality I was not going to take her  seriously even though I knew most of what she said was accurate.  Talking with the doctor I told him I did not want the shots that the nurse recommended and he said fine, I know you don't get flu shots, and you have not had it since I've known you.  But "you will get the colonoscopy".  I may be doing Monday's blog under the influence.  Moral: If you want to get help, look for those that have had success in that endeavor.   Blessings, Dwight
