We all know it’s important to take care of ourselves, but it’s amazing how easy it is to neglect our health care. Whether it’s because of our busy schedules, lack of health insurance, or financial situations, it’s easy to go many months (or years) without visiting our doctors. Or perhaps you tend to only visit your doctor when you feel sick, but skip those well-visit appointments. I know that my husband and I make sure our children have their yearly physical appointments, but it requires extra effort on our part to get ourselves to the doctor.
