Went to my family doctor yesterday to get the results from my blood tests and CT scan. Took me until today to write about it. I was tired, tired after hearing from him. He told me that my blood was 27, up from 26 and 26 is a warning. So, now I have to go for a scan this week and blood test in October to keep on top of it. My history of cancer, he said, tells "us" that we have to keep on top of it.
Something, he said, showed up in my lung. Could be nothing, but we have to watch, he said.
Well, after 5 years of this watching my health from the dark side, I now have to go back to square one and do it again.
Though I will retire with less money than if I wait until 65, I am now reflecting on friends in the same situation who retired early, had a life, and are now deceased. Should I go that way?
Seems like the right thing to do.
I was considering living on the ocean as my friends have recently done but they are older and have no health watch like me. Also, they have been retired for years and they are all married. Different story for them.
I need to get it together right now and make next week the beginning of the best time of my life. Fortunately, I am better prepared than I was the last time. Fortunately, my bucket list is prepared this time and fortunately, I know that it does not matter how long I live, it is how I live that matters.
I now know that today is what really matters.

mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a
small amount of heat."
