Is it really so hard...enlighten me.
You know there are two really important reason to go see a doctor. The first one is to keep yourself healthy. The second one is to find out if you're really sick and take preventive measures if you are. Am I right?
My husband as been complaining of one thing or the other the last couple of months, say, since October. I commisserate with him, I cuddle him, I give him tablets. I yell at him, go see a doctor. I ask him if he's been in pain for a long time, does it really bother you so much, are you worried about it, do you feel different? The responses I get, "no, it's nothing; no, it will go away; Just give me two pills". These responses makes me scream and curl up inside!@@#3!
So each time we go through this and I say to him, you really need to go see a doctor. You see, usually I'm the one who makes the appointments and make sure he goes to see the doctor. I didn't get around to his appointment last year for one reason or the other. So I told him I'm going to schedule a checkup for the end of the month and I don't want to hear that he can't go. I'm particularly worried too because his father died last year (we had a lot of deaths last year) and his father had prostrate cancer. It's a combination of aches and pains and swellings of joints and other areas, though it may not possibly be his prostrate.
But really men, why is it so hard for you guys to go see a doctor? I've asked him this question and gotten not much of a response to it. At least nothing logical. Women go see the doctor when they feel any kind of pain or knows something is wrong. There's no shame in it. So guys, what's up with this?
At any rate, I'm dragging him to his appointment at the end of this month. So there!
