Stuff You Gotta Do

When you turn 50 your doctor will start pestering you to have a screening colonoscopy. If you're sneaky you can put it off until you're 53. Well, it's been "time" for three years now, so tomorrow I get to go in. I'll let you know if I survive. In preparation for the procedure I had to go off some old familiar medications and use a different one instead. It's injected. And I have to inject it. It has given me a whole new appreciation for the millions of other people in this world that have to inject themselves daily for diabetes and other problems. My tummy is sore from the shots, and I'm trying not to whine. I'll stop the shots on Friday. It makes you appreciate the stuff you don't have to do on a regular basis.
