This Is Only A Test!

   I never really was very good with tests!
   I remember once, in Junior High School, taking
a spelling test. I was misspelling a word as the
teacher walked by on her patrol. She noticed my
mistake and decided to alert me by slapping me
on the face with a ruler!
   I haven't been excited about spelling or tests
since that day. Fortunately somebody invented
"Spell Check!"
   That said, I went in for a Blood test about three
weeks ago. I failed!
   My family doctor called the following day to
tell me he was concerned about three readings
that showed up in the test results. I suppose
that's a little like getting three questions wrong
in a written test.
   My Doc will follow up on one of those results.
But the other two will be handled, or checked by
two specialists. I've been seeing one of them for
years. But the other one is a "new guy."
   How new is he, you may ask? That may best
be answered by recounting my wife's question
when we met the gentleman.
   "Have you graduated from High School?" He
assured us he had and, in fact, had even gone on
to Medical School!
    Adding my new physician to my list of doctors
 I already see from time to time, and including my
dentist, I am now providing financial support to
about seven members of the Medical Community!
    If I can come up with one more we can field our
own softball team...if they'll let me pitch!
    That should not be a problem because....I FEEL
FINE!
    The only thing is, the new Doc wants me to take
another test or two in January. So I guess I'll either
have to study hard for a couple months or, more
likely, cram sometime after New Year's Eve. I've
just got to try to remember what I've heard over and
over during all my radio and TV years....."This is
only a test!"
     Hope my doctors don't read my Blogs...and that
all your NEWS is good!
