The following first appeared Feb. 23, 2011. Dear Carolyn: I'm a month late in scheduling a second postsurgical checkup for myself. My mother refuses to speak to me until I get the checkup and report the results to her. I am 37 and independent. I'm not procrastinating intentionally (e.g., in fear). I'm not requiring her to remain cordial as a precondition for acting on my own behalf. I know I will get around to making the appointment soon, and I'm comfortable with my management of my health care.
