[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 42 and have 3 young kids (ages 5, 9 and 11). I haven’t had any of the following:

Mammogram
Colonoscopy 
Yearly dental cleaning
Yearly pap
Yearly eye check
Yearly physical

I think I got a physical maybe 3 years ago? I got an eye check 2 years and just ordered 2 years worth of contacts so I didn’t have to go back.

I just don’t have time to go. I work full time and solo parent 75% of the time. [/quote]

Similar story here. It’s hard to find time for my own check-ups. Work and kids always come first.

I did take a day of leave a few months ago for a colonoscopy, but I went to work on the prep day. I had no choice. [/quote]

I am the pp and at this point I am just like f-it. If I get sick I get sick. I don’t have time for all of these things. I take pretty good care of myself. I don’t smoke, walk a lot, drink minimally and am at a decent weight.

The only thing I have done is see a dermatologist because I am vain and needed retinol. And they did find a pre cancerous spot so I had that removed. [/quote]
