2016 update...

i apologize for the delay in posting...it has been a hectic year with getting settled into my "new" job (October 2015).

the labs/blood work were fine. NO CT scan this year. everything looked great, so we will continue with this new plan -- once-a-year dr. visits with my standard bloodwork BUT still minus CT scans. scans will only happen if/when needed due to other symptoms or concerns necessitate one.

i have not yet put together any sort of 10 year "i'm not dead yet" celebration. maybe i will be able to fit that into 2017 somewhere/sometime.....(not likely)
