65 ~ AND PROUD OF IT!!

May 30, 2008 - My 65th birthday! Wow! How did I get here?? Where did the years go? In the mail there was a letter from Medicare with a medicare card. I looked at that letter and told my husband that that letter had gone to the wrong address ~ it should have gone to the "old lady" up the street. He calmly told me that my name was on the medicare card! So we chuckled together over my new status of being 65 and on medicare.

The next day we received a letter from medicare saying that when one first qualifies for medicare that a one and only one time physical is available free if taken advantage of within the first 90 days after turning 65.

We had recently received a advertising brochure from a near by hospital telling of a new Senior clinic opening and available to those over 55. So I decided to make an apointment and go in to get established with a doctor. We had moved to Salt Lake City a year and a half ago and had not yet seen a doctor.

So in the next few weeks I called and made an appointment for July 17th at 1:30 p.m. to see Dr. Laurene Joseph.
