Chris Robinson Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Cal, happy b'day from me too. Did mine last year ... uneventful. Don't put off getting the colonoscopy screen if you haven't already done it. It's a peace of mind that will keep you resting comfortably for another ten ....

Lascaladan Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Good for you making it to the big 5 0. Surprisingly, when I hit mine, my ears seamed to be the only body parts not to have aged. They are definetely the most used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks everyone, just after I posted this thread, I had a large dose of work dropped on me so I was not able to get back to the board from work and when I got home there was a surprise party waiting for me and this was given by my son and wife. Just a few good friends and family, it was really nice. I have had the "procedure" before and it is again time for it to be done. So that will be scheduled soon. It is true that I had no choice in the matter but it really wasn't so bad. It only hurts when I say it[] It is also nice to know that I am in good company in the old farts club, those who are there and those soon to be there, thank you for sure for the "warm welcome[] I am on the road to have surgery for weight loss. I have been battling this for nearly the full fifty years now and while I still have pretty darn good health considering the extra weight, I am taking steps to make my stay on this rock last a bit longer. Now that I have decided to do it, the surgery can't come soon enough but it looks like it will be in October or November due to the hoops I need to go through to get approval from the insurance company. This and the company I have worked for the last 27.5 years has announced that they will stop making our product in about the middle of 09 if there are no more orders from the Government, who is our main customer. So the ride ahead should be interesting for sure![:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2006 Cal, happy b'day from me too. Did mine last year ... uneventful.

Chris Oh great, I have that to look forward to in 4 years. Can't wait. Seriously though, I asked my doctor about doing one this year and he said that it is not really necessary until 50 unless someone in family has history of colon or rectal "c" (I can't even say the word), or an elevated PSA. I have been insisting on PSA screenings for at least the last 12 years so that I would have a good baseline. So I am glad you had a happy birthday, and wish you great luck with your surgery. I have had a close friend have it done (she got it covered by having the doctor saying she needed galbladder surgery, but I think the ins. companies are on to that). It has changed her life for the better. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
