It was... Different.

That sounds like there's a story or two in there.

Happy Wednesday. Raining here and temp dropped back down to cold. I'm looking forward to tennis tonite.

Just a few more disdad meet pictures. The rest are all on property.

Would have been a nice day, sunny and warm I've heard, but I've been doing a colonoscopy prep. One year follow up so this is as good a time to get on my soapbox for the new guys. They are recommended at age 50. There are better things to do, but it may save your life. I wasn't expecting any problems when I had my first one last year, but ended up having 1/3 of my colon removed. Hopefully everything is good now but you never know. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for those that are depending on you. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

I fart a lot. Does that help?

Back from vacay.
Started to read the last 6 pages I'd missed out on...


Nah.

You missed out on my disdad meet pictures.

The Prep is far and away the worst part of it.
Not knowing that there's a potential life threatening problem is far worse though.
I've lost folks due to that scenario; don't wish to add to the list.

Should make for an interesting read.
hope there were some bright spots as well.

Not necessarily if you're in the middle of that prep work.

Too many are lost and my condolences. Many people are scared of the prep, but I've felt worse after a rough night in college with 25 cent drafts at the local watering hole, or a bad stomach virus. If caught early, it is one of the most survivable forms of cancer. I'm not sure if they are doing a better job of screening or if the incidence is rising but rates are up among the younger folks. Because of my history, my kids will be screened no later than age 40.

That picture was really bad. So much for KY 4G.

I've read about that prep work. Drinking nasty crap sounds bad enough. Not eating? I get the very first appointment at my Dr now so that I can eat dinner and then have blood work drawn for physical at 7:00 AM. I don't know if I could without eating much longer than that.

You have to avoid anything with tomatoes or red dyes starting about three days before. The day before you can have clear liquids, broths and jello (just not red). I've done it a couple of times and have found that keeping a cup of chicken broth with you that last day makes it a lot easier to deal with. It's more satisfying than water, to be sure. Once you start on the "nasty crap" that evening is the fun bit of it...
It's still worth it in the long run and for most folks it's only needs to be about once a decade.

All true but it beats finding yourself in an urn on someone's shelf. I decided to tough out an infection in my foot and it nearly killed me.

They didn't knock me out when I had it done, just something to get a big groggy. The nurse doing the prep work was super cute. She tried to make small talk while my derriere was flapping in the breeze. Awkward. All that was going through my head to ask her was, "So, do you like your job?" After I recovered, it was off to have a steak dinner. One of the best meals ever.

Saw The Right Stuff a couple of days ago. This conversation reminds me of the scene where Alan Shepard and another potential astronaut went through it. Anthony Munoz was the nurse that escorted them up two stories so they could reach the bathroom. Funny stuff that hit home.

Tacking it onto the current one. If you're interested, go to the second post and you'll see chapter link to the Maui part.

It's Hawaii, so even when it's bad, it's good.

Niiice.

 

[declansdad]

Good. Otherwise you would have joined the Canadian polite takeover conspiracy.

Conspiracy... there is no conspiracy.

 

[pkondz]

Conspiracy... there is no conspiracy.

Of course not. Just go about your day. Nothing happening here.
Oh... and, "sorry".

Good morning all. Had an enjoyable night of tennis last night. Thought I would post another meet picture from the wifi at home before I go to work.

Did you just get off Small World? I hear it is Jim's favourite ride.

 

[declansdad]

Wild couple of days of weather here, in the last 24 hours we have had snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain, fog, thunder lightning and record high temperatures.

Last year we were buried in snow, this year nothing to speak of.

 

[DisneyFed]

This weather blows. Been absolutely stunning for the past couple of weeks. Now a big bass tournament arrives, and what happens? High Winds and mid 30s in Leesburg.

I mean....really?

How you guys doing?

You're lucky. My wifi doesn't understand me.
Sometimes I just need myspace.

Did you happen to perhaps see four horsemen ride by?

Just curious.
