This morning at 10:45 a.m., I will be "checking in" to Ridge United Methodist Church in Munster for a Life Line Screening.
I received a flyer from them a month ago and thought I would get some health screening done.
After all, my doctors, for the past ten years now, have been putting "at your age" into phrases as they speak with me. At my age I can expect this from my teeth, my eyes, my system. Sheesh. What is it going to be like when I get older?
Not wanting to find out the hard way, I thought I would go for five screening tests that will cost $149. If I would have gone to the doctor and he would send me to the lab, I am sure I would be paying a much greater fee.
The tests are stroke indicators, vascular disease screening, and screening for bone density and osteoporosis.
Hey, I figure if I could spend big bucks on a clock, I could spend a little on my system...
When was the last time you got proactive about your health? These kinds of checkups do not cost a considerable amount of money and they can help your doctor in monitoring your overall health.
If you live in this area, there is another screening opportunity taking place at St. James Parish in Highland on September 24th. You can go on line and select that parish or other places in our area at Life Line Screening.
Here's to your good health!
