I had an appointment with a specialist a couple of days ago, checking up on some women's issues. I get stressed leading up to these appointments although I wasn't expecting any problems. The friendly receptionist greeted me politely and took my information, as I hadn't been there before. She asked me to jump on the scale. I was ok with the reading, then she said, we can subtract a pound, maybe two, due to the weight of my clothing. The experience was turning positive!
I didn't wait long, I was led into one of the doctor's rooms. She was a tall, slim, attractive young woman, I'd say early thirties. She took my blood pressure reading and it was 110/83...normal... I must have been relaxed, it's often a bit high in my regular doctor's office. She said maybe he makes me nervous. She gave me excellent advice on my issues and I'm impressed at the knowledge and competence of these young people. They can do major surgery on people for goodness' sake! I decided I'd trust her to work on me if and when the time came, and left feeling that I had a rapport with her.
The positive appointment seemed to set my mood for the rest of the day. And it was a blustery day with no sun until the afternoon. I thought 'winter is wearing spring's coat', sort of like a big, bad wolf. Did I really just say that? Lol.

Pleasant visit to the doctor!
Nothing better than good doctor visits! So rare nowadays.
How wonderful that you found a doctor you like and with such excellent results, too! Yae! 110/83 is fantastic!
Glad to read the Specialist's visit went very well Christine.
Sometimes our imagination can make mountains out of molehills but having checkups is very important.
Great blood pressure mate!
