One Week to Go!

Tweet

This time next week I’ll be in a really crappy mood. I’ll be doing my colonoscopy prep. Sure, it’s a joke. Who likes the colonoscopy prep? Well, masochists, I guess…but other than that… This does raise an interesting question, though. As most women over 40 know, the annual mammogram is not to be done less than 366 days after the previous one. In contrast, colonoscopies are once a calendar year. That means, theoretically (see the previous remark about masochism), you can have a colonoscopy on December 29, then on January 3 have another one. I bring this up because it seems to me that’d it be easier to schedule the mammogram in the same month every year instead of having to wait until the day after the anniversary from the previous one. But that’s medical insurance “logic” for you. As for the photo, that has nothing to do with a colonoscopy (well, you might consider a stretch there….). That’s the “Horseshoe Falls” at Niagara Falls. I took that on my last trip there, in 2019. It was a Sunday, and I had dinner at the restaurant at the park’s restaurant (which has a great overlook). The food was overpriced but that scenery was worth every penny. I might go back this year. My plan is, assuming everything is good with the colonoscopy, is to go to Ohio for a golf tournament next weekend; and, from there, go on a little trip. Among the places I’d like to go: the prison where The Shawshank Redemption was filmed and a trip to Buffalo to see the USS The Sullivans. Niagara Falls isn’t that far from Buffalo, y’know….. But we shall see. You may remember that I said I wanted to go to the Mary Todd Lincoln House. Well, when I got up this morning I saw that my path to Lexington (Interstate 64) was blocked out of town by a five-car pileup. I just know where I will be next Monday: on the toilet.
