Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful for routine check-ups. This lock-down set all of us back for regular doctor visits. I was six months late on going to the eye doctor and when I finally got to go I found out I had a cataract. That’s been taken care of.

My regular teeth cleaning was offset too and I finally got in and found out I need a crown replaced. As my dentist explained not taking care of the crown could cause me to have a root canal down the road. I never want a root canal. I’ll have the crown replaced by Thanksgiving.

I know many are scared to go see their doctors, but I strongly urge you to go to your regular visits. They take every precaution and if you do as they ask you’re most safe and so are they. You can prevent issues from becoming much bigger issues.

What are you thankful for today?

    I’m sorry you were so late getting to the eye doctor but glad you got the appointments you needed eventually. It’s worrying that so many diagnoses, not to mention treatments, have been delayed so significantly. I need a dental check up too, but that’s one I’m secretly glad to be late with! I hope you get the crown replaced soon so save any extra bother like a dreaded root canal in future.

    I’m thankful that I’ve got a doctor’s appointment in person today for on ongoing problem that’s getting worse. It’s been very difficult getting an appointment at all so I’m grateful to get it.

    Have a lovely Thursday, Sandee! xx

    Good advice. Mom isn’t afraid at all just doesn’t like all the stuff you have to do to go to a doctor these days, but she is slowly starting to make appts for herself.

    Oh yes I was a bit fearful of all the recent dental work but if is over. Very impressed at how my periodontist and staff took such extra precautions and thought ‘outside’ the box to keep things as normal as possible

    I needed a dental crown this year, myself. This coming Monday, meanwhile, I’m scheduled for another diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound on an existing cyst. Ugh… But you’re right that we are fortunate to be availed these health check-ups and should all follow through if possible. ~hugs~

      Sandee says:

      Yes and it feels good to get things done. Two more weeks of eye drops and I’ll be done with those too. I’m so ready for that. 🙂

    Taking care of one’s teeth is so critical for optimal health, not just in the mouth but with major organs as well. Good luck with your crown replacement. 🦷

    Good for you for keeping up with your care! Our Mama is a bit behind, especially since the Dentist doesn’t take her insurance anymore so she needs to find a new Dentist that takes her insurance and she is also late for the eyes. Perhaps you have inspired her to get going on those two things. We hope you had a wonderful Thursday!
