Colonoscopy and Getting Old Sucks...

...but it sure beats the alternative. I am 60 years old and have never had a colonoscopy, that is until tomorrow. I have not had a regular Dr for a while so, a little over a month ago I met with my now, new Dr. The first order was to have some bloodwork done of which the results found me to be "prediabetic", okay diabetes doesn't run in my family, but okay. I cut out a lot of sugary stuff and have actually lost a few pounds down to 185, and drink only water instead of my cherry Kool-aide Country Time lemonade mix. Next up we scheduled a colonoscopy. Yeah, I could've done the poop in the box thing, but being that I have never had a colonoscopy, I want to make sure I don't have any issues, and they will be able to see right then and there if there are any issues. So, I have been doing the "clean out" prep all day today, have only had warm chicken broth and some orange jello, other than water and some orange Gatorade. Things have finally calmed down in the plumbing department so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight and get this procedure over with and have a big ol Baconator for lunch tomorrow.
Just one of those things we have to do when we get old I guess.
