Colonoscopy



Call today!! Get yours while they last.

The oldest living grad student (OLGS) had a colonoscopy today. They pumped him full of interesting drugs, and he was a zombie, not even awake enough to enjoy the stuff coursing through his veins. That didn't happen to me, at least to that degree (I kinda enjoyed the drugs), and confirms my belief that men are wimps when it comes to physical discomfort. But he's cleared for 5-7 years. He was jealous--I was cleared for 10.

Joe College, a.k.a. kid #2, went with him, waited, was there when he woke up, and drove him home. It was touching to see OLGS's gratitude, and Joe College's true willingness to help his dad. It bodes well for our declining years, which will come faster than any of us like to think.
