Thanks, Plei and Jess. They've got a 60-day trial thing, so I may take advantage of that.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I had my physical today and will have a colonoscopy iin my near future, though she suggested waiting until after my foot is healed. We also have a plan to deal with my increased stress/depression for the short tterm. I adore my doc.
Please get your colonoscopies, friends!! The prep is gross but it's just a few hours of your life.
Joining the chorus on this one. I had my first colonoscopy at 40 and they found a polyp, so had my second at 42. Which - ugh. But no more polyps after that so now I'm on the every 5 years or whatever it is cycle.
I put my first colonoscopy off a little -- I was 51. The day of fasting wasn't as bad as expected as long as I was able to drink bouillon. I'll also say that "clean-out" wasn't as bad as expected, but that's as much because of my expectations as the experience. I was out for the procedure itself. And Hubs and I have a deal -- we go out to lunch afterward, and he who had the colonoscopy decides where.
If I could drive myself home, I'd schedule the damned thing, but I don't want to have to impose on someone.
I had blood tests done yesterday, and my doctor just called because one of my results was off. She had a bunch of questions for me, and she wants me to get that test redone, and I was stupid and googled what that test means. I should wait until I get the second test and the results come back before I start worrying. Right?
Right.
Yes. Dr. Google is not your friend. There is a good reason they retest. Long lists of stuff can throw off tests.
OK. I'm getting the blood tests redone tomorrow. I also looked at my results online and noticed another result that was outside the normal range that concerned me, which she didn't mention, so I sent a message to her about that.
The doctor responded about the other test that was concerning me (which was a liver function test.) She said that it's not far enough outside the normal range to be concerning, and they'll test again in six weeks.
