Colon prep is more enjoyable than this 2nd half.
Drinking the prep and sitting on the throne is more enjoyable than the 2nd half of the Michigan football game.
Circling back on this as a PSA (not prostate specific antigen, that's something else)... my results are back and I am glad I went. Two polyps were removed, both were precancerous so it's good that those little suckers are gone. I'll be going back in three years to check again. DON'T BE DUMB and hope for the best, GO GET CHECKED!
Anyone get spinal anesthesia before?
Jacked up my hip and had to get a new one. Offered me spinal or general. What a whacky experience. Felt myself going out after a couple injections. Weird feeling. Never had either before.

If you have a choice between the 2, always choose the spinal. Way, way less opportunity for anesthesia complications. My 89 y/o mom is having a new hip places on 12/5. Spinal is the only anesthesia that is being offered.
In my days of running hockey leagues, there was once a ref who started doing crunches on the ice during play out of boredom during a low level adult game he was reffing. When the players confronted him about it, he said he had just gotten a colonoscopy and the doctor told him he needed to do crunches every half hour. As the league director, I took the complaint to some higher-ups that assigned the refs to games, and it made it up to a vice president of USA Hockey's Atlantic District. Normally he was a very cordial and mild-mannered older gentleman, but to this one he said, "It's too bad I wasn't at that game, otherwise I would have asked him if he just got a colonoscopy, why is he so full of ****?"
