[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 668402, member: 18958"] My son gets frantic when he thinks I am not taking care of my self. He gets agitated. Go figure. To him, I am supposed to follow this special diet. Coconut oil or something. Supplements. No sugar. Etc. He would worry horribly and he could not see the similarity of our situations. It would make him worse, not better. I am not saying I will not tell him. FS, if I had the threat of a medical illness like the possibility of a brain tumor or diabetes, I would be very compliant with treatment. Why not try to help each other? We can each list 3 proactive activities and 3 different medically related follow-up contacts (or appointments) we will commit to making. I will start: For medical follow-ups I need a mammogram and blood work. I will also commit to going to all 3 of my physical therapy appointments (I went to one this week.) That is 3. I also need to get an eyeglass prescription filled. That would be 4. So, I will do 3 of the 4. I need also to go to an Ear Doctor for my hearing. For proactive activities next week I will: walk 5 days for 45 minutes each day with one of the dogs. I will go to a needlework class on Friday. I will call an acquaintance to go for coffee or to lunch. I will call the lady about a spinning wheel class. (That is only a possibility.) It's your turn, now. [/QUOTE]
