Tomorrow is Take Care Tuesday! I'm taking care today. Getting my health in order!

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey,

Tomorrow is Take Care Tuesday and I'm taking care today because I'm having one of those baseline tests we all need to keep ourselves healthy. Remember when Katie Couric had her famous colonoscopy on the Today Show? Well that is what I'm doing tomorrow late in the afternoon. So we won't be walking for the next 2 days.  I put it off due to taking care of Steve and my Dad but now I need and want to be more intentional and serious about my healthcare. In a spiritual sense I'm taking care of the Temple of the Holy Spirit and I want all of you to do the same. Remember today is also You Matter Monday! Here are a few of the necessary screenings:
Men:
Testicular screening
PSA and Prostate exams and T Levels
Skin Cancer
Bone Density- Yes you can have brittle bones too.
Colonoscopy
Make sure you have your breasts checked. Although rare breast cancer can happen in men.
Vision, hearing, memory checks

Women
Pap smear
Mammogram (Do monthly self exams)
Colonoscopy
Skin cancer
Bone density.
Baseline blood work.
Vision, hearing, memory checks

Ask your doctor when you have to have the above and how often and let's make it our challenge in the next few months to get all our vaccinations and booster shots up to date.

God help us not to be afraid to seek regular medical check ups on time and early.
