Everyone says the prep for the colonoscopy is way way worse than the actual procedure, FWIW.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I've had my bladder scoped. I fear not the colonoscopy scope. There was, however, no laxative nonsense.

You are generally unconscious for the actual colonscopy so it's not a big deal. The prep is, however, Not Fun. But WORTH DOING IF THERE IS ANY REASON TO SUGGEST YOU NEED ONE!!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I skipped over 3000 posts. I'm sorry. I'm sure someone said something important/poignant/hysterically funny and I missed it, but there's no way I can catch up on 3000 posts.
I've seen those commercials with the volcano! Whatever they are.

Trudy, are you having the same foot surgery I had, i.e., bones broken and realigned to make the feet foot-shaped?

Speaking of two things discussed in the last couple days here -- Westminster and high school classmates -- one of my classmates is showing her great dane at Westminster today, evidently.

Man, it'll be nice to have our espresso machine fixed and back. Drip coffee's okay but I need the serious caffeine crack.

Trudy, what do they do if there's no laxative phase to the colonoscopy? Because the reason I've hesitated to have one is that I probably am not going to be able to swallow the foul-tasting stuff they give you to drink in large quantities. I'm a supertaster with a very strong gag reflex, making that a very likely literal inability to swallow much of it.

BTW, yesterday I discovered that changing the litterboxes is much more pleasant if you put Vicks Vaporub under your nostrils first.
