Normal pap smear results

Today I received a phone call from my doctor's office on my pap smear results. It came back normal. When I had my first mammogram two months ago, it also came back normal, though I do have dense tissue, due to my being underweight. Now I just have to gain weight. I have no other doctor's appointments until early next summer, when I go to the eye doctor to get glasses. And then I go back to my doctor again for my next physical and blood work. Since I couldn't afford to go to the dentist anymore for cleanings, I do brush my teeth, and only need to go if I have a toothache, cavity, etc. Yeah for being healthy!

@KristenH Wow, not sure of the cost here, not been for some time and I can't remember what it was the last time I did go.

@kevin1877uk Yep. And I don't have a dental insurance either. I can't afford it either. I just have Medicare. If I have a toothache or a broken tooth, like I got one, 2.5 years ago, I would go to the dentist. But not for cleanings twice a year.

Thanks Kevin. I hear you. Every year, the price for the cleaning goes up by two dollars. This year it was $101.

Thanks. My secret. Well, every since I went to the gym, 2.5 years ago, I did a lot of exercise classes, walked to the gym and church and to the local store. I also ate healthy food and ditched junk food. I also drank a lot of water too.

It is always good when we are healthy and don't need to go to the doctor. I will be going for a mamogram January 6th my first one.

That's for sure. Oh wow. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. My cousin told me don't have chocolate or soda before your appointment and drink water. No deodorant either.

Good news, keep on doing what you're doing, just sprinkle a little sugar on it and maybe you'll put on a few pounds as well as maintain your good health.
