Your kind words have brightened my day....and im up at sunrise today so thats sayin somethin....bonus feature- Foot Tapper by The Shadows just came on the wireless.

Here's my latest acquisition.

Routine/Preventative?

 

[Prester John]

Thanks, Paul.
Birthday Wednesday, daughter came home for holidays Thursday, colonscopy Friday, laundry Saturday, church Sunday, Christmas next Tuesday - my life is rich and full!

I guess the highlight is tomorrow!

Routine/Preventative?

I guess the highlight is tomorrow!

Andrew, you look ready for a New Year's Eve party with that "party favor" attached to your face to enhance your celebration! I hope they can get your pancreas problems straightened out ASAP.

Yeah the colonoscopy is routine, although since one of my younger sisters had colon cancer many years ago, I have the honor of enjoying the procedure every 3 years instead of every 10, or whatever the "normal" frequency is. Vince, tomorrow probably is the highlight in the sense that afterwards (about noon or 1pm) I'll finally get regular food, which I haven't had since 8pm yesterday. Tonight is also pretty exciting as I pound down my magic elixir while my family bets on when the "big blowout" will happen!

Actually, my last time was 4 years ago, and the endo doc has been bugging me for a year to get it scheduled. I remember the last one, because a BF member, gregc, sent me a Vic Electrician, my first Alox knife, and it arrived on "prep day", making the entire experience a little easier to take!

Andrew you looked a lot better last time I saw you.
I hope you're much better soon my friend.

 

[traumkommode]

Thanks, Randy I hope I am, too. At least now I get to eat.

GT, I have the same go-round. Family colon cancer, so I started getting them at 25, every 5 years. Last one was back in February, matter of fact. Nice and clean

5K Qs Good luck with the Scope Treat....I thought the prepping, drinking litres of that foul tasting metallic sweet liquid was worse than the actual thing. Not much appetite after, as that prep stuff tends to keep on working..... They do give you a Happy Pill here beforehand if you want it-yes! But I have heard that in some countries they give you a general anaesthetic , seems a bit extreme

I'm waiting to hear what my doctor thinks about my cancelling my first colonoscopy. I don't think she can make me do it, but I could be wrong.

That part was fun/ny!

Hope your scope is clean, too, GT.

screened porch - what do you mean? Doc can't force you to go through with a procedure. If you're worried about it being uncomfortable, I opt for sedation, and am basically unconscious for the ride.

Oh, I'd go for the sedation. What I object to is the preparation, and the very idea of paying through the nose for a hose up my butt.
I don't expect the doc to have me declared incompetent so she can order procedures without my consent, but she might be able to bully me into it.

I watched The Bishop's Wife last night. $9.99! I think that's more than Shane!

It was Loretta Young as the title character. Maybe I didn't remember her name because I've never seen her in anything else, though she was very big. Billed above David Niven in 1947, and had her own TV show at some point. With Monty Wooley and Elsa Lanchester in this.
Probably cutting edge special effects for the day. Unless Cary Grant could really play the harp, they did a heck of a job with that (except for one shot through the harp strings).

A little over the top sentimentally, but it is Christmas. Just keep that sticky treacle off your gun hand.

Oof, bless you, Randy. That's a lot. Makes me grateful to get to run into you in town every once in a while like we do.

I've never had one, but I need to I'll be 40 in March, and my Dad got colon cancer, beat it with surgery and chemo. Kept a good sense of humor through the whole ordeal. Once while my Sister was visiting him in the hospital after surgery he told her "At least there's one thing good about it" my Sis says " What's that Dad?" He answers " I won't have listen the that a--hole talk behind my back no more" He only lost 1 pound on chemo and gained it back the following week.
