Who keeps a three-year calendar? Birthdays and anniversaries are every year so not so difficult.

On your phone? And then transfer it to your next phone. Sometimes technology makes life easier.

If you give in and share your data with Google then it is trivial to have a single calendar that shows up on all of your phones and all your computers. And all of your next phones and computers. You can even share it to other peoples phones. There is likely an Apple equivalent?

I do not share my data with anyone but still sync my phone calendar to my computer(s) manually every few weeks. I generally only keep about a decade of past events.

Ok. yeah, I thought of that. That'd require too much faith for me I fear. Or I might go for it. But then at my age it's difficult to think in such long-range planning.

Oh hell no. I gave in enough to get a google email account finally, and it's been trying to hijack my life since even tho I never use the email. They really try to autofill that every time I am not on guard.

I'll have to google that trick.

I think I'll nag my daughter about getting a colonoscopy or Cologuard now, then a FIT every year forthcoming.

Is arousal the problem with colonoscopies or whatever oscopies for some folks

They put you under so you won't know unless you ask your doctor afterwards.

Colonoscopies are fine, the prep does leave something to be desired however.

A colonoscopy save a friend's life, it was his first and they found cancer. It's been over a decade, and he is missing a few feet of colon, but he is now cancer free and feeling great. As they say, the life you save may be your own.

A 47-year-old native of my little farm town, prison guard, volunteer fireman, little league coach, father, husband, and son died from colon cancer here this week. Totally preventable. Get those annual physicals and stool tests starting young. You'll probably have to ask your doctor for the stool tests. If your insurance won't cover them, the FIT test is cheap enough.

Another Colonoscopy done. All good. No problems. When was your last one?

The clear liquid only diet the day before was boring. The laxative the clinic told me to use the day before didn't work well - 20 Senna tabs 8.6mg with a quart of liquid twice. I think the doc had to do additional cleaning after I was under before he could examine me well. It was a busy clinic with several exam beds, but I was in and out in an hour and a half.

The specialist who did this one did not think much of Cologuard or FIT. He just likes having a Colonoscopy every five years, except at my age he didn't encourage me to come back at age 80. I guess that if cancer was found then, the treatment would finish me off anyway.

Post-op complications, as it was with my aunt. I don't think they do "treatment" as in "instead of op": only pre-op/post-op.
