Let's talk about colonoscopies

Dementia sucks so bad. Seeing a friend or relative that was sharp as a tack for so long turn to mush is really hard. Dad died of it, I told my brother then that if I ever called him Hazel to hold the pillow down on me.

The last Christmas for my Dad I picked him up at the nursing home he'd been at for a couple years and took him home to Mom's. 3 days of repetitious nonsense with everyone there being "Hazel" (his deceased older sister.). When I had to come back to Arkansas I took him back to the home. Put him in his wheelchair and said my goodbyes to far-away eyes. When I reached the door I heard, "Brad, don't leave me here". By the time I got back to him he was vegged again. MFer... that was hard.

go lyghtly with such talk 

The box, according to the quacks specialists that I've talked to, just lets them know that you need the scope done right now, or that they can wait a while. They strongly suggested just do the thing and get it over with. I'm on a three year rota with three behind me and one due soon.

I wasn't drunk as long after the procedure with   the last go round as I was with the first, used a different type of anesthesia, that first time they did both ends and I was giddy for several  hours afterwards.

Yeah I had bought ends and not good with either. 

They found Cancer in my Prostate and my Throat almost. 

Got to have my Throat again.
