That can be a warning sign of serious health problems. How often do you visit a doctor?

Well, lessee, if the current trend is anything to go by, about once every four years. Although November of Last year I was laid up in hospital for 6 weeks, I think I'm all caught up on my doctor's appointments now. Seriously though, if there is something majorly wrong with me, I don't have the money to get it fixed so I'd rather not know.

And AT, cheer up for Gs sake! My grandfather had a colourful expression I hope I won't get in too much trouble for repeating here: "Life is like a dirty whore. It's the most beautiful thing, you just gotta look real hard to see it."

Well, I hope that hospital stay wasn't related to any liver problems. One of the possible 'side effects' of cirrhosis is night blindness. It has something to do with a missing liver enzyme. Remember the thread title and don't hesitate to go back to the doctor. (Erm, does Ireland have 'national health insurance' of some sort like most of Europe? I hope it's not a 'pay your own way' place like the US...)

I recently had laser eye surgery, allowing me to see unaided by glasses for the first time in about 15 years. I finally have good peripheral vision. I no longer take it for granted.
