Captain Mythbuster!

The other day, my son Jeremy startled me. We were discussing what to me seems to be the morbid fascination some people have in what I eat or drink. His answer was that they are just concerned as I always seem to be sick! I was flabbergasted! Truth be told, I cannot remember the last time I was sick, even with just a cold. It has literally been years since I took a day off work, because I was ill.

In fact, do you remember that stress test my doctor insisted I needed to take because of my family history and since it had been so long since my last one? I finally did give in and had it done (I think back in January). It turns out that, since I had no previous symptoms and the test results came back perfect, with no occlusions anywhere, my insurance company feels this was more like a "Wellness Plan" test and is therefore not covered! So, now I am stuck with a $300 bill for a test I didn't want and didn't need.

My ever-helpful Webmaster did some research and the last time I mentioned getting sick (a bad cold, BTW) in the Blog was September 23, 2006!

So, for all you well-meaning, but misguided people who have somehow gotten the notion that I am sickly: I ain't!
