I never thought I would get this old. I have a Doctor appointment tomorrow for an annual checkup and you guys have inspired me to ask for the "nasty" while there. Twenty years ago I would have laid down and died before that happened.

It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. The prep is the worst part...and that was not really even that bad. Think of why you are doing this and take it from there. BTW, mine was spotless, and the doc said "see you in 10 years". That made it all worthwhile.

Amen bruddah. Good list!

I appreciate everything I learn here on the lawn. If I had a Genie, I would wish we could all be transported to a big table in an old fashioned diner and have coffee and breakfst together and just the the comments roll! I really do appreciate all you old farts! :D

Just remember: no bacon, no eggs, no home fries, no coffee, no butter on the toast..................

I think that we may still be allowed to chew the table cloth!!!

Nope the bleach used on the cloth causes too many hazards. If the table is natural wood you could put some hummus on it with some green tea to wash it down. Might be a problem with your next colonoscopy though.

Make the appointment. My last one was 5 years ago at the age of 58. They found and removed 3 polyps. If they hadn't found them then , there's a good chance I wouldn't be here to be a pain in your ass and tell you to MAKE THE DAMN APPOINTMENT............. NOW DAMMIT!!!!! :eyebrow:

Okay I'm sharing this publicly for the first time. This was 35 years ago; I was a struggling musician in San Francisco. Of course I had no medical insurance and basically no money either. I got sick with what turned out to be a prostate problem. Someone I knew suggested I go to the University of California Med center for free quality care. This is a teaching facility and that day class was in session in the urology department. The entire class was given hands on training. Hands on me that is. 12 or 15 students had a go at groping me while I stood there like a soldier. I lost all shame and concern so much so that in future medical exams the doctors and nurses are shocked at my willingness to let it all hang out.

I went to the occupational health physician today. I used to have a female Doc, these last two years it's been a man, younger than I am. No complaints on either. Got a load of complaints, none of which require days off work. Got an x-ray done on my foot right after. Scheuled tests for Monday. I could do this any day of the week.

Just did something scary...filled out a couple of those life span calculators and found that I may live another 20 years. Need to get reorganized because in my head it would be another 5 years tops. Hopefully, these extra years will include playing Sundays in church, even if a couple of young dudes have to carry me up on-stage because I can still out-play them.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! It's in our nature to bitch, but I'm sure we all know the many things we have to be thankful for. Hope you get to spend it with loved ones. If you don't, get on here. We'll put a little love on you.
