Medic Alert

I'm signing up for my Medic Alert bracelet today. I know I have to behave like a grownup and do it, but I don't like it. Correction: I HATE it. I hate the idea of acknowledging so definitively that I have a health problem. I'm weak, and now the world gets to know about it.

This feels almost as deflating as admitting I'm over 40. Maybe worse. And I never thought I'd say that about anything! (Except maybe turning 50.)

If you're reading this and you're on warfarin, you know you need to do this too. It sucks to admit you have a health problem, but it's not as bad as bleeding to death.
