The Excitement Never Ends!

 I have a colonoscopy coming up! Well, it's in August, but still. It's a super fun thing everyone should do!

Ok, ok ,ok. It's not super fun. Everyone should do it, though.

Not everyone does, though, and that's a problem. Honestly it's pretty much the easiest procedure to have. Sure, the prep sucks, but the payoff is huge. You get it done the first time, and they will put out on either the 1, 2, 3 or 5 year plan. I’m on the 2 year. So, if I can do this every couple of years, I know you can do it. Most places even fully knock you out for it now (as opposed to just mostly knock you out, as they used to–but you don't remember it then, either)! Score! 

Seriously, it's the best way to detect any issues with your colon, and we don't live a lifestyle in this country that's good for anyone's colon. Heck, being a human isn't good for a colon. Being bipedal wasn't the best idea we've ever had for many reasons.

Anyway, as I mentioned, the prep sucks, but that's usually only for 24 hours before the morning of your procedure. When you get down to it, some people do this on purpose, for their health. There was some high colonic fad thing some years back, where people did it for health reasons. Like, spoil-yourself health reasons. Like, of their own accord without being medically pressured into it health reasons. 

So, maybe just pretend that's what you're doing. Suddenly, you're a celebrity! The camera is just some really, really overzealous paparazzi!

I mean, honestly, whatever gets you moving. (Heh. Moving.)

So if you're of the right age and haven't done it already, make your celebrity-like colonic appointment. Do it for the same reason they did. Do it f

or you.

So, here's how it's going

 It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to get to the post writing page today. This really isn't ideal, as you may imagine. Broken brain gonna be broke, though. 

Hand surgery done, and I can type for a bit, but not that much, so this is going to have to be short today. 

All in all, things are much better. I'm doing therapy to get things working the way they were, and am able to do more things at home than I was able to before. 

My surgeon said "it was a mess in there." So, I feel justified in having been in Soo much pain from it. Still weird that it was a mess in there, but it at least feels like I wasn't imagining it. 

So, things are good, for thee moment. Not saying it too loudly, and definitely not counting any chickens before they're hatched, but things are ok. Normal life still happens, of course, and it's thrown a couple of huge wrenches at us. We're making it through, though.
