Man that Covid aged you incredibly. I didn't know anyone could live to 439 years old.

No I didn’t start this thread so you could shower me with birthday wishes. Truthfully, this is not a birthday I’m thrilled about.
Anyway, I just googled what age you’re supposed to get a colonoscopy and saw it’s actually 45 but I’ve started to think about things I should perhaps do/pay more attention to as I’ve reached this dreaded milestone. I gather that I’m probably on the younger side of things here so I turn to your collective wisdom and sage advice if you could perhaps impart upon me any life experience that I should consider.
Cheers and good fortune to you and yours.
I did say as much as possible. Plus, can't do anything about it. I was completely unaware that winning caused you stress. Sorry to hear.How are we supposed to do #5 with Trump in office??![]()
Not sure about your definition of winning.I did say as much as possible. Plus, can't do anything about it. I was completely unaware that winning caused you stress. Sorry to hear.
The place I did it had a big recovery room with curtained off beds for each person... so you could hear everybody else in the room. I heard a number of men say some pretty funny ish to the nurses checking in on them. This 70ish guy kept hitting on the nurse checking in on him, and she kept telling him his wife in the waiting room probably would not be keen on her coming home with them.When you woke up were the nurses laughing? Mine never would let me in on the joke.
Just spitballing here, but if this particular nurse was young and attractive, she may have heard about your reputation and was angling to become the next Mrs. NYC BlueBlood.. . ., she said I came out of it quick and never said a word, she wished all her patients were like me... I am still curious if that was true, or if that's just what they tell all the patients after they hear the ish others are saying.
You've come a long way. 25 years ago you were a quite an idiot on the boards. You've matured.I turned 50 last year. I don't think I look 50, though. At least compared to what 50 looked like when my dad turned 50.
I missed my chance?!?! I can't believe they told me I can't sign up for another 5 years!Just spitballing here, but if this particular nurse was young and attractive, she may have heard about your reputation and was angling to become the next Mrs. NYC BlueBlood.
You didn't. Zero chance she was interested if she said you came out of it quick.I missed my chance?!?! I can't believe they told me I can't sign up for another 5 years!
The 40 vision change is a pain. Up to that point you can correct everything at the same time. Then all of a sudden you have to choose whether you want to see up close or far. Can’t have both.I had a hard time turning 40 also. I'm going to be 42 in a couple months.
My dad had colon cancer (it was removed and he's fine now), so I went ahead and had my colonoscopy at 40 instead of 45. It was more just weird than anything else. My biggest fear was my vision - my eye doctor had told me once that vision starts to really get worse around 40, and some patients of his said it was almost to the day they turned 40 that they started to have more issues. So I was convinced I was going to wake up blind on my birthday. So far so good.
I also worry about having back problems as things that used to be normal cause me a little more pain now. But some of that could also be due to weight.
When I had mine after fasting and doing the prep the doctor’s office called and said the doctor had something come up unexpectedly. I was like you have to be kidding me. They found a replacement though.The place I did it had a big recovery room with curtained off beds for each person... so you could hear everybody else in the room.

I asked my nurse what I had said as I was coming off sedation... she said I came out of it quick and never said a word, she wished all her patients were like me... I am still curious if that was true, or if that's just what they tell all the patients after they hear the ish others are saying.
Sorry to break it to you, but you look 50.I turned 50 last year. I don't think I look 50, though. At least compared to what 50 looked like when my dad turned 50.
It sounds like my wedding toast!Happy Birthday.
My youngest child turns 40 in November.
As far as advice, my life has had so many ups and downs, I feel like a yoyo. The only thing I really learned is that if you get up every morning with the goal of handling that day better than the day before, you can keep going.
