off for a few days

[Sir Henry]

I have all day testing on Thursday and Friday so might not be around much for a few days. Today is the start of the dreaded "prep" and it is a real pain in the....., well it is a pain.

[clovishound]

I've got to schedule the probe sometime in the near future. Did one about 10 years ago. The biggest issue for me was getting that nasty stuff down the gullet. Best of luck.

[JEBar]

sure hope everything comes out alright ..

sorry, couldn't resist .... one of the very few benefits of getting to be my age is having to take that test less often

[RetiredSeabee]

Been there too many times. Best of luck to you.

[ditto1958]

Lol. “Prep” is a word that strikes fear in those of us who are over 50.

[RanchRoper]

I don't think anyone in that position should be the butt of jokes....

I recently turned 65 and have been putting off having my second one for a few years now and am going to ask my doctor if I can get away with having a Cologuard test. The procedure itself is no big deal but the day before prep sucks.

Gene are you back yet? Pics or it didn't happen. Never mind I'll take your word for this one.

[GeoBoy]

Just remember preparing and the procedure are much nicer than cancer.

I would much rather have the procedure than a blind test deciding if I had cancer or not.

SH are you ready for more Cashew Chicken yet

[Sir Henry]

Actually I had Cashew Chicken last night.

My few days off turned out to be almost two weeks. But everything came out okay in the end. Just a tad more invasive than I would have liked.

[PT7]

Glad to hear the good results.
All is well that ends well.

At age 75 I no longer get any test done or any medical procedures done . . It is time for me to make room for someone else in this world .

Now on with the trip to Branson

I'm not ready to check out just yet but I don't get my PSA checked anymore for cancer. If it comes back I don't want to know.

Now on with the trip to Branson

I leave in two weeks from today. I'll let you know when I'm in the area but I suspect it will be around the 22nd or 23rd.
