The process to get it scheduled is going to your primary doctor, or calling insurance I guess. if you have family history of colon issues, or if you’re in the age range, it should be a fully covered preventative procedure. But who knows now. Depends on if the Fear of Luigi is still around, I guess. I have been deemed free of any issues. Doctor said it either means I’m doing everything right, or God has gifted he a clean colon despite doing everything wrong. I assured him it was the latter. Time to get used to plain yogurt.
However (and sorry for pulling a Nett-style double post) - this time the drugs hit me hard. My arms were rubbery all afternoon and I took a two-hour nap I didn’t plan on.
Make sure it's understood to be a screening colonoscopy. Insurance is currently required by law to cover 100% of screening tests/procedures.
I think that's how mine was filed. I had it done by my primary care doctor when I was 27. I had been bleeding out of my butthole multiple times for no good reason.
Yeah I seem to recall when I worked at the doctors office that even if we suspected something was up, we put it through as a “screening” because it was less hassle.
If it’s red, it’s just internal hemorrhoids. I am old enough to not be worried about anal fissures anymore, so…there you go, fellow idiots.
Three? Those are rookie numbers. Try 10. The largest being 10mms. I am 100% positive that if my friend didn't get rectal cancer, that I would have pushed off the butt-cam and one of those polyps would've turned cancerous.
We are coming down from the mountain now from a day trip to the lake. We met up with neighbors who had been camping since Thursday night. It was such a cool spot. The lake was cold and refreshing and I loved seeing all the wildflowers.... Yarrow, Indian paintbrush, goldenrod. We are going to book sites for next summer since everything Is booked up 6+ months in advance. There's 3 places I want to camp and they were totally booked up this year when I looked. Pretty annoying. Is it that bad in every state?
Our oldest son graduated college in May but after being home for the summer he’s back at their apartment a couple hours away while his girlfriend ( and likely future wife ) finishes her student teaching semester. It’s a new era as his visits home will depend on a work schedule, not school breaks. If you have a kid going to college that needs part time work, don’t overlook Walmart. They get a lot of shit but the one he’s worked at has been excellent to him. They worked around his school schedule as well as breaks, almost taking a “get here when you can” approach because he relied on public transportation which, for a college town, was spotty. When he graduated, the manager told him that he’s welcome to come back if he needs to but “don’t get stuck here if you can find something better.” He’s looking, but in the meantime they took him back with open arms and gave him some pretty solid hours five days a week. Maybe he got lucky and got a good manager. Either way, they’ve been awesome to him.
Around here, it's exactly like that, unless you want to camp during the week. Friday and Saturday night, it's impossible to get a site unless you booked months in advance. Sunday thru Thursday, though, you can typically find a site in majority of parks.
That’s why I do most of my camping after the kids go back to school and the weather starts to turn. No people, colder temps to help sleeping without having to run the AC, and did I mention no people?
The best part of the airstream is you get to remove the elements out of the equation. Hot and humid or cold and pissing rain, it doesn’t matter. It’s a glorious sanctuary that handles it all.
On that note I’ve just finished upgrading my battery system to be 13.2 kwh, all quickly recharged by the cummins in the truck if the solar can’t keep up. No more need for generators or shore power to fully enjoy my espresso machine and netflix or steam games. The ultimate escape while taking it all with you.
