Why don't men worry about their health?
It drives me crazy! Every time something comes up, DH automatically goes to the 'I'm fine' excuse. He hates going to see a doctor. Recently, he's been dealing with some symptoms that worry me, but he won't make an appointment. So....I just made one for him, and since it's a day he won't have the car, I'll have to go with him so at least I'll know he will definitely go!

Preach on.
DH has some things Id like him to address with his doctor ... I think he is losing pigmentation in his skin and hair.... and Im worried it could be serious, and DH just wont go.

DH: "i'm so fat."
Me: "You mean eating dinner and then eating an entire box of mac and cheese at 10pm isn't a miracle diet?!?!?!?!"
DH: "Shut it."
He's driving me batty about his weight!
I think they just want us to get their life insurance early. Dh won't go to the dentist unless there is an issue, smokes, and eats eggs/fried bologna and hotdogs for breakfast even with high cholesterol.
He is so healthy! I am glad I have more influence and time with R than he does!
My DH is the same way. But I was shocked that he recently made 2 appointments (ALL ON HIS OWN), 1 to get his back checked out and 1 to get some cysts removed. I thought I was hallucinating when he told me.
Getting him to the dentist is another story.
That.is.funny.stuff!
DH thinks the dentist is a scam, but he still goes, but only since he has been with me.
As far as the doctor, I do not think that he has been to the doctor, except for physicals required for work. He NEVER gets sick, like seriously, never. Immunity of steel, I am guessing from working the job he does. He did go to the eye doctor last year and had minor surgery, because he all of sudden was losing sight....scared him.
