Because I had a polyp last time, I was due for a followup at 5- instead of 10-years. Today that happened. <tl;dr> no polyps, am now on a 10-year follow-up.</tl;dr>. Most of what I wrote up in 2017 is identical, so I’ll just note the differences I want to be aware of next time I need to know. Preparation: I […]

Colonoscopy
<tl;dr>It wasn’t that bad.</tl;dr> (These are notes are mostly for myself for next time.) T – 10+ days: Pick up The Kit. The kit is a 4L container with GoLytley powder, a flavor packet, and a prescription ondansetron, an anti-nausea drug that I would cherish later. Out of pocket costs for this: $2.31. A nurse called to check that I’d […]

3s of Me
The final piece I wanted to preserve from the upcoming Facepocalypse was a meme known as the “3s of Me.” The original one landing my way had a lot of “not applicables”, perhaps being written for someone with zero likelihood of shuttling a mini-van-ful of kids to ballet. I ignored it. Then, John Chawner posted his and took some liberties. Tagged, […]

Album Cover Challenge
Continuing the cleanup, I present the second of three Facebook memes that I still find both benign and entertaining, the Album Cover Challenge. Like the others, I felt funny about any implied social obligation in “tagging” someone, so I toned down the mandatoriness a couple of notches. This is the original post. Do check out Wai Fong Fung‘s other photos […]

100 Books, Omnibus edition

In concept, I don’t mind this one as much because who doesn’t like lists. However, when both of these […]

Cholecystectomy – gallbladder removal
<tl;dr>I had my gallbladder out Thursday. I’m gonna cut back on the bacon, maybe, but am feeling better.</tl;dr> Exactly 365 days after my kidney stone, I was again experiencing similar symptoms. I assumed it was one of the tiny calcite terror pre-stones in the inner part of my left kidney. Kidney stones suck, but for subsequent attacks (in my case), they […]

Although I really don’t grok Facebook, I do like the huge timeline photo it allows one to post on the profile. My new commute downtown may turn out to be fun!

A few days before we were going to leave on a week-long roadtrip, my spouse suggested we swap out her original radio for something that would play MP3s and, ideally, had an USB port. I did some quick research and found a JVC unit that work fine. The other requirement was maintaining compatibility with the steering wheel controls. For most […]
