"A complete health physical reassured me that my major fears are just that, not fully manifest, yet well worth being fearful of." a quote from last week's Diet Diary entree.

This weeks follow up tests were less assuring. There is no easy way to determine if the cyst in my liver or the L-shape of my stomach are not harboring a cancerous tumor.

I do not know why the tests can not be reassuring, but it seems the more willing I am to have tests, and pay the ridiculous fees for these tests, the more tests are needed and the more inconclusive they become. I suppose this is some fundamental law of both economics and human nature. A phenomena that assures the longevity of the medical industry.

My longevity is what these reflections are all about. I want to ingrain in my day to day life habitual behavior that will maintain my health. But as every reader knows, I am truly lost in my world of restricted options. Somehow I will need to map out a life style that encorporates aerobic exercise.and yet also allows time for my chores as teacher and single dad.

There are no excuses when it comes to the protection of health... just conviction and perseverance, a willingness to walk the talk.
