The maintenance never ends

chrystaltree · ‎05-10-2010

Monday it was mani/pedi. Tuesday it was my retina specialist appt. Wednesday it was teeth cleaning. Nothing scheduled for today but tomorrow I have an appoina,tment with the glaucoma specialist and a blood draw for my endocrinologist. No issues. All routine follow ups. My 79 year old bff said this is the life of the older woman who takes care of her health and her body. We retire and then we spend our time on body/health maintenance. I laughed when she said that but later I checked my calendar for next week. Tuesday I get my brows upper lip waxed. Thursday it's a knee x-ray because I want a steroid injection in my right knee. They need the X-ray before the visit. Friday I have a hair appointment. Cut/trim but now I'm thinking I want color. I think an auburn shade. Something different.

When I read this I thought...how fortunate you are to be able to take such exquisite care of yourself and Auburn sounds like it would be beautiful!😉

When I read this I was thankful that I am "low maintenance" and have no need to go to any doctor.

Other than daily cardio and my color and cut every 8 weeks that it is it for me on maintenance. So far blessed with only Dr. and Dentist appt. every 6 months.

But who knows what is around the corner and turning 62 in a couple of months.

As an individual with several chronic health issues, I can relate. I'm used to all the health maintenance because I've been going to lots of doctors and specialists since I was a child. A few weeks ago, I had a haircut, dental checkup, lab work, and doctor appointment all in the same week.

Hope you get to spend a few days relaxing at home or doing what you want. 🍁

At first glance I thought the thread was about home ownership...which in fact maintenance really never ends.

I am very lucky at 68 as far as my health is concerned...no health issues, I take no medication and I quit colorling my hair the first of the year. The only thing on my calendar is the yearly mammogram in another week.

I also thought it was going to be about home maintenance and was about to agree!

Luckily, I don't need as much maintenance as my home.

@Venezia @Mom2Dogs I thought the same thing because I think @chrystaltree owns a townhouse or condo and the maintenance never ends. There is always something.

I would never think of maintenance that way but some do it seems like. I always look good, and very, very clean. That's all I need and I am very happy and have a heart of gold.

@Mom2Dogs my yearly mammogram is schedule for Sat Nov 4th. Here's wishing you the best results possible.
