Doctor visits and freaking out

So, it is Monday and the boss is on vacation. I went to get my yearly blood work done and a visit to my OBGYN doctor. My blood pressure was 122/83 even though I was freaking out about being a the doctor. Oh well, there goes that white coat syndrome. I have gained a little weight, 6 pounds, so I have to get back to counting/tracking. I have never been a fan of going to the doctor, but since being treated for cancer, it has become more stressful. It is a challenge calming the panic that happens when I go to the doctor. I am getting used to asking them to take my blood pressure manually instead of using that damned machine which I don't like because it squeezes for too long. I thanked the nurse for doing it manually, even thought she seemed a little miffed, and we joked about that machine. Next step is to get the results from the urine/blood tests. I am worried about having blood in the urine, an indication of possible kidney stone and my blood sugar. The next test is to get my mammogram done - that doesn't freak me out. Saw the movie Magic Mike this weekend - I wouldn't recommend seeing it - the male stripper dance routines were good and certainly enjoyable to watch - but other it wasn't worth it. Luckily, someone else paid for the tickets. That is all for now.
