It had been just a year since Ross had seen his internist.
Between Ross's father's serious health problems, the ongoing business problems, and other issues, Ross just kept procrastinating.
When Ross finally went to his internist's office, he was told by the front desk that it had just been one year since he had visited.
Ross submitted his small co pay, and then saw the internist.
The internist, upon seeing Ross, was shocked and stunned at Ross;'s appearance.
"Ross, is that Ross??" The Doctor asked.
"Yes it is , Doctor" Ross replied, bumping fists with his Doctor in greeting.
Ross's Doctor took Ross to the examining room.
Ross was weighed. His weight was astronomical, for him, at 195 pounds! At that point, while the internist told Ross that the Doctor did not have a "Number" he wanted his patients at weight wise, the Doctor told Ross that Ross needed to lose "Fifteen pounds, at least"
Ross's BP was then taken. It was at 142 over 89. The 89 was elevated, and the 142 was very high.
Ross; s weight was at his all time high of over 25 years earlier, before Kayley had come into his life.
Ross was then told by his internist that Ross needed a blood test to check cholesterol
At this point it was November, and Ross said he would come back in January.
Instead of taking a car home, as Ross had taken to the Dr's he decided to walk home, go into his favorite eating place, where he downed Grilled Chicken, salad, rice, and iced teas.
When Ross got home, Kayley was sitting in the bedroom, watching TV, but she could tell from the look on Ross's face that something was wrong.
"Okay, Mister, what did the internist say? Spill it! " Kayley pushed.
Ross sighed , started to undress, and went toward his closet to change into house clothes.
Ross sighed again. "Fine, wife, you want to hear the gory details? BP 142 over 89, weight 195 pounds!" Ross shot back.
Kayley sighed and was shocked
"Oh My God! I think that's the highest weight you've been at since you lived out of the city with your mother before I met you! You've certainly never been that high since you know me! I knew you were heavy, but" Kayley exclaimed.
"The Doctor said he wants me to get rid of 15 pounds. I told him how sick my Dad has been , but he told me that I have to stop letting things around me get to me. You going to leave me for having high BP and being fat?" Ross asked.
"No, I'm going to stay with you, and be on your ass to lose weight, and get your BP down. The marriage vows. To Love, Honor and Cherish in sickness and in health until death do us part. If I have anything to say about it, your death will not happen for a long time, because I am going to do everything in my power to see that you get healthy!" Kayley said.
Ross and Kayley ate quietly that night.
Ross went to bed with a sense of dread over him. He could not control the Tom lawsuit against Alan Hell and Ross. Ross had lawyers, and he had to let the process play out . Yet, as his Doctor had told him that afternoon, while he could be worried about his aging father's health, Ross could not let it get to him so as to affect his own health.
The next day, Ross awakened early., Kayley was dressing. He threw on jeans and a shirt, kissed her goodbye, and went to the office.
Ross was upset about his health, even though he had no one else to blame but himself. Ross went into the office, said his hellos, met with John, and took some of Tim's work.
"Ross, what the ?" John asked,
"I had a bad visit with the internist yesterday, John. He told me that he did not recognize me from last year. Please just give me some of this paperwork, and I will evaluate it. Let's just say that I have to stay here this week for my own health, and my health with a certain teacher" Ross said.
Just then, a text arrived from Kayley.
"You had better not be thinking of running away from your problem by say, making an OKC trip. You are going to stay here this week, and I will be watching you like a hawk" Kayley said.
Ross knew that he had lost weight before. He could do it again. The problem was, that he was twenty plus years younger when he did it, and he knew that losing weight for a 30 odd year old man was easier than for a 52 year old man.
Ross did his work, punched out at 5, bought Kayley flowers, hopped in an Uber, and went home.
When Ross got to the apartment, he kissed Kayley and gave her the flowers.
"Thank You. They are very pretty. This does not get you off from doing what you have to do" Kayley said.
Ross sighed and went toward the bedroom, where Kayley followed him.
"I promise I wont leave for any OKC trips for at least a week, unless I have to go to Toronto to see Fish for a day, okay? The guys are just getting back from Alaska anyway. Their two weeks out there were a decent success. They opened some existing wells, and bought a few very small companies to fold into RFS Energy. I have to go to OKC and want to, but as my Dad says, I have to digest what the internist said first. I promise I will , okay? I said I will be here this week except maybe for one day to see Fish, then I go to OKC next week. Okay, Teacher Dom?" Ross asked.
Kayley kissed Ross "Okay, and I Love You"
That night Kayley started in with Ross, and they made love.
Two days later Ross went to Toronto for the day to see Fish. They discussed the Alaska trip. John bought one company to fold into his separate company in Canada, and John also said that when Ross got to OKC the next week, they would have a conference call to discuss the joint business that Ross, John, Fritz and Steve had.
The days went by. Ross tried to focus on his work. He approved Timothy's monthly work, and that weekend, packed to go to OKC that Sunday night.
Ross kissed Kayley goodbye early Sunday evening, got on a plane to OKC, met Fritz and Steve at the airport, and the men went off to dinner to discuss the Anchorage trip in detail face to face.
Ross had a serious issue with his health. He knew he had to take care of himself, for both Kayley, and himself.
How would the OKC trip that time turn out?
All of that would be seen.
