Bet you never thought you would see pictures like these on a blog. And, no, they are not dirty pictures. Nice and clean. How well I know.

Have had an event these last few days. The every-five-years colonoscopy. A family history, my Dad and younger brother both had colon cancer problems so I have had this done several times. A few small noncancerous polyps. Waiting for the biopsy but the doctor says they look benign. Aren't they cute?

Colonoscopy itself is not bad. You get a little joy juice and can watch the whole thing on the monitor. The day before, however, is uncomfortable. Only clear liquids. Came to experience Gatorade on a massive scale. And hours on the dumper after the doctors rotorooter cocktail. Not a bad thing because am seriously behind in my reading. No, I did not put my behind in my reading, thank you very much. The cocktails worked just fine. Note the pictures are pure and clean. Not a hint of any offal. The trip to the doc takes an hour and a half which includes going across The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-tunnel. One of the wonders of the modern world, always enjoy the experience. But the Bridge-tunnel is about twenty-five miles with no potty nor trees. Took a spare set of skivvies and pants but did not need them.

And a DQ chocolate Blizzard and a good meal with my son's family for a reward.

Go get your own colonoscopy. It is a life-saver, know that for a fact. Am not selfish enough to keep the experience all to myself.
