Aware, cautious, yes...worried, no. In other words, coming here was a good, proactive thing to do. Though number & type of polyps do matter in the risk classification, Bottom Line: How old was your mother @ diagnosis? My first colonoscopy @ age 50 showed precancerous, inflamed polyp + others. I ...
Those look like the body of a pig, head of an anteater. Definitely not a family pet. How about a little food porn? My favorite summertime dish of garden-fresh zucchini & tomato stir fry served over a bed of jade pearl rice. Just finished the last of it tonight. Yummy. https://i.imgur.com/QiUhLCK...
As a spouse it is tough to be left behind. It is also tough to watch your loved one suffer. Your family will hurt either way as they should; they love you. FWIW, Hospice is not set in stone. You can go off hospice & back on again @ some point if you choose. You scored a great trip - making memor...
"Chonky-tonk"...how funny :) Are you keeping up w/the two of them pretty well, Mom? Groomed Chloe today, brushed her teeth, shored her hair up a bit, shaved her feet for toenail clipping @ the vet Tuesday (just impossible for me to do it anymore) + gave her a bath. Normally don't like to s...

What's that Michael? Nice to see you on forum. So, nobody showed up to the tailagte party which is a good thing, seeing as how I missed in the instructions in all caps: "ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL". :roll: Not a problem for me anyway. MY IMPRESSION OF SUPREP: My first time w/SUPREP :arrow: Not ...
OK...two enthusiastic RSVP(ers) so far. I may have to up the ante a bit. After all, gummy bear candy is not a big draw...I get it; not my favorite either. The nurse & receptionists act as if gummy bears are a BIG DEAL. I think we need to SPIKE the PUNCH (SUPREP) to make it a little more enticing...
Where's that grandson of mine when you need him?! gummy bears :?: seriously :?: :!: :lol: :mrgreen: Yep, colonoscopy #4 coming right up. Generally speaking, we're all one colonoscopy away from a possible cancer diagnosis. First one age 50, precancerous-infected polyp + garden variety polyps. I was o...
