I walk 30-35 minutes on the treadmill or outside at least 5 days/week

Next Friday is a colonoscopy..........oh how I am looking forward to
that. ;-(


What a temptation to say something...


During my last, very rare visits to a doctor several years ago he
scheduled
me for one of those. I still haven't shown up for it.

lol!!

me either.....


Boy, I guess both of you *showed* them. ;-)

Not a fun thing to do, especially if you have a hairy chest. But better
to know the condition of your heart before it's too late.

Huh? It's not my hairy chest nor the condition of my heart that concerns
me.

I thought you were talking about the stress test. ;-)

I had my first one this year, due to a bout of Diverticulitis.

It was easier than getting my teeth cleaned. I went to sleep in the
"procedure room" and woke up in the recovery room.

The only complaint I had was I felt like someone owed me a dinner and a
movie.

Could it be much worse than getting your prostate gland checked the old
fashioned way?

The next question, preferably to remain unanswered, is how much shaving to
do for the colonscopy! : )
You know you're in trouble when they call in one of those girls from Jamaica
to braid your hair before they can scope you.

That's the problem..... where's Tom going to get a heart they can test?

hey!!!!!

Don't worry, Tom.
There's this guy I know, lives behind a curtain. Just run an errand or two
for him and he'll get you a heart.

15 minutes on a stress test, great bp, yada, yada, yada...

doc sent me in for a baseline angiogram adn they found right coronary
artery blocked 80%. placed a stent.

just goes to show you...
That each test, each bit of information, is just one piece of a complicated

A couple of years ago, my doctor said, "it's time" I said, "please,
no, I think I'd rather have a male doctor."
Here's the story. My doctor is young and cute. I chose her only
because our family doctor of over 18 years was retiring. Additionally
I chose her because she had gone to my school. Well, her looks helped
too!
So she looks at me and says "look at my little fingers (holding up her
hand with her fingers spread out) now, would you want a male doctor
whose fingers are twice my size?"
I let her do it.

My doctor has *big* fingers and lets me know so every year during my
physical. :-(

I'd be in deep trouble. I am too young for that.
