Doctor appointments

After canceling three times, tomorrow I will pay a visit to my new GI doctor. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. I am two years overdue to have a colonoscopy. Since my grandfather had colon cancer and I had some 'issues' in my 20's, I have to have this test on a regular basis. At that time, my doctor told me that had I waited to be tested until the suggested age of 50, I would have already had cancer. (He just knew, nosey!)

Anyway, I am overdue and know this new guy will make me have the ass-cam again. I think I could probably stand the test, since they put me to sleep, but the preparation is a bitch. Just ask my siblings, as they all had to have colonoscopies after I received my results from that first test. Lucky for them, none had any problems, but they were not happy with me for causing them to have the butt-light so early in their lives.

So I will go tomorrow and will tell the doctor he MUST come up with some other way to 'prepare' for the test besides drinking that disgusting liquid. Just thinking about it just made my stomach turn over. I am NOT drinking ANYTHING. He will just have to come up with some other way. There's got to be some other way to cause a person to have a blow-out. I'm putting my foot down. Let's see if tomorrow at this time I still have a doctor.

Good grief, I just remembered that I haven't re-scheduled my appointment for my mammogram, either. Was supposed to have it in February. There is simply nothing like a good boob-flattening to make your day perfect.

Getting old sure is a bitch. My friend, Martha, used to say that if she'd known she was going to live this long she would have taken better care of herself. She died last year. I'm just sayin'.
