Confessions of a One-Track Mind

There are enough issues in my family that I ought to at least get a general exam done, which is on my to-do list for this summer. I seem to be lucky as far as BP goes---my dad had BP issues for ages, but I must take after my mom. On the other hand, I also have her varicose veins, albeit nowhere near as severely---she had both thighs, I have one calf. And there's other stuff on the family tree that I'd as soon rule out---although my dad's parents both lived well into their 70s, as did he, and my mom had two maiden aunts who reached their late 80s-early 90s. (Her dad died in a car accident and her mother was estranged, so I've NO IDEA about her cause of death.)
