For a fat guy, I feel pretty good today.

I enjoyed my colonoscopy -- looking forward to the next one!

No compliants for me today. My DD12 did pull a muscle in her back while we were playing volleyball yesterday. She's been walking around with an ice pack strapped to her back. Held on by an ace bandage.


Who's next?

This should be an interesting post!

I have been getting leg cramps at night in my calf. Do you all know what I am talking about? They are so painful! I usually jump out of bed, yell, and stomp around the room and then pray that I won't get another one

I wonder if it has to do with my diet and the foods i'm eating.

Take tums for calcium. I had this problem when i was pregnant.

Potassium helps prevent cramps.

My physician is on my butt (no pun intended) to get one this year, but she is the same age as I am and hasn't scheduled hers yet, so I told her let me know when she does and I'll schedule mine. How'd you like the prep the day before?

Exactly, eat more bananas! Also, drink more water, could be a sign that you are slightly dehydrated!

 

[lucy_love]

Ooh thanks! I will try that, hopefully they go away.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I don't have any complaints today that a couple of aspirin and a beer wouldn't cure.

Well isn't that sort of the point??

I have a headache, pass the asprin and beer.

I occastionally get foot cramps pretty bad- all of a sudden the muscle between my big toe and the others just tighten and my toes separate- it's really weird and hard to explain. But my DH said to drink more water and that's seems to be helping. Anyone else have that spasm?

Take a potassium tablet. You can eat a banana, but you need to eat a lot of them, to get the same amount that's in a pill.

If you take a potassium before bed, you won't get leg or toe cramps in the night. It works pretty fast!

I've been packing and cleaning (we're moving this weekend) so my lower back hurts. It better make it through the weekend, without going out!

I've somehow developed a big crack in my butt.

 

[Gatordad]

they sell butt-paste for that.

Yeah man,,,,there is nothing like being probed by a camera!
Butt seriously, everyone over 50 should schedule one for themselves.

Oh yeah my feet hurt.
