60 and Over

Had My First One Yesterday

I'll preface this by saying that I'm in shape (runner) and have been into a high-fiber diet for decades.  The prep was not too bad.  Because of my diet, I'm pretty cleaned out most of the time.  When I felt a purge coming, I had plenty of time to head to the toilet.  There was no abdominal cramping or other type of discomfort you normally associate with the runs.  The liquid diet and fasting wasn't bad, either.

I waited until 61 to get my first one yesterday -- about ten years beyond the recommended age.  The doc found six polyps.  Three was small and three were a bit larger -- no concern, but I may wind up on a three-year cycle based on family history.

Recovery was easy.  I probably could have run this morning if I wanted to.

Try a few of these out on your Doc/Nurse:

1. "Take it easy Doc; you're boldly going where no man has gone before."
2. "Did you find Amelia Earhardt yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas and West Virginia, we are now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Doc?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you put you left hand out..."
8. "Look Doc! I'm the newest Muppet!"
9. "If the hand doesn't fit, you must acquit."
10. "Hey Doc - Let me know if you find my dignity, OK?"
11. "Could you write me a note for my wife, stating that my head is definitely NOT up there?"

Yeah. It's that time. Just getting ready. Other suggestions?

For 10 years I had them once a year. I love the drugs, never felt a thing. The last three times I scheduled a beach vacation the day after so I could take advantage of the weight reduction.

Much ado about nothing. One female doc said, "try something original, I have heard the strap on comments."

What a fascinating discussion, yawn. ........both this one and the previous one.  Makes me wish I was under 60.  Come on guys; we're starting to sound like an old nursing home discussion.

having him go in after a kidney stone or 2 (it turned out).  I have had colonoscopies on a regular basis for more years than I care to remember because of a family history.

I usually write a funny sideways on my right ass cheek! My doc has no sense of humor, but his nurse giggles her ass off!
