Quick Note

I made a promise to myself a year ago that I would really start taking care of myself.  As a single mama, I've always taken care of my kids' medical needs.  I made sure that they got their medical well checks on time.  I made sure that they had dental checks every six months.  I made sure they got their eyes checked, saw ENTs when necessary, and orthodontic checks.  It was a priority for me to take care of them but I neglected myself a bit.

So I started with a standard well check.  I went in and had blood tests run and got a general overview of my health.

I got an eye exam, new glasses (for when I don't have my contacts in) and switched contact lens brands.

I got my annual gynecological exam.

Now, finally, I've finished my dental work...which has definitely been a process.

I say that to say this.....

You can't take care of anyone else if you don't care for yourself.  You also don't realize how much small preventative measures can improve your overall health.  Take the time to take care of yourself and take part in preventative visits.  As cheesy as they seem, they can make all the difference.
