Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 73 | Congrats on the year. I always get nervous before checkups. I describe it as terminal paranoia. However, my doctor said that my paranoia is healthy because it means I keep my appointments and will let him know if anything changes between visits. We always use my good checkups as an excuse for celebration (as if we need an excuse). btw - I used to go to Libertyville regularly when I was a teen - do they still have the terrific saddle shop.
