[quote=Chico23231;1340865]Serious point, if your 45 or older schedule your colonoscopy. Colon cancer caught early or just the removal of polyps is Bigly in that fight. I know cologuard or whatever it is sounds easier, but just do the colonoscopy…I got it done as well as an endoscopy for my acid reflux issues at the same time.[/quote]

i hear you, doctor just issued this one first because of varying factors i am extremely low risk.

Yeah, my grandfather, mom side had colon cancer and they removed a couple polyps and one was of the large kind. But everything came back benign.

The fact that I love the TVLand Channel.

If I could only have 10 channels, TVLand would absolutely be one of them.

As much as I love lots of stuff that formed my musical preferences, it's depressing how long ago it was.

Listening to a song right now that I liked, but didn't love. From 2010. I was a spry young 27-year old. I hate this song now lol.

You Know You Are Getting Old When...

You attend a sports event at your College alma mater and they are playing modern remixes and mash-ups of music [emoji445] that was new and popular when you were in high school and college! SMH [emoji2357]

As you get older your reading vision goes to shit but the funny thing is your distance vision can improve. That's the way my eyes have gone in the last few years. I've got progressive lenses now and they're great. Progressive contacts kinda suck though, even with them I still need reading glasses.

It's a nothing burger as long as they tell you that you're good for 10 years...unlike my best friend when they said we need to see you again 6 months! For those of you who haven't done this, DO IT! Any history of colon cancer in your family at all, you need to go in your 40s guys. Just get checked. It's a half day spent on the toilet that could save your life!

Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
 

Yes the actually procedure for a colonoscopy is nothing but the day before for a big eater like me sucks.

I'm 65 and have been amazingly healthy my entire life. Rarely sick, I don't have a bad
back or knee, never broke a bone or torn a ligament despite being very active in sports. But in the last 5 months I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, prostate cancer and now my pre-diabetes blood work crossed over the line to diabetes.

But it's not as bad as it sounds. The blood pressure took a few tries but we got the right meds, as I mentioned in the other thread stage 2 prostate cancer has a survival rate of like 98%. As for my blood sugar I learned when you get cancer you tend to go "what the Hell why don't I get that Hagen Daz?" while at the store. We never had ice cream or donuts in the house until recently. I ate like crap the last few months, I can change that.

Hey man sorry to hear about the cancer but I'm sending positive vibes - 98% survival rate sounds great. Hope it's a big nothing burger.

I haven't been as fortunate - 35 and in the last 5 years I've broken my wrist, 2 herniated discs in my back that had to have surgery for. Getting old sucks indeed lol. Just had the flu and it took me 3 weeks to feel normal again. It used to be a 1 week deal. Is what it is though.

Getting cancer at 65 was an interesting experience. I was told I needed a PET scan to check for spread. Anyone who has a PET scan scheduled who says they have not even considered their mortality is lying.

What I learned was I was as OK with the worst news as anyone my age could possibly be. I came to this by looking back at my life. I never had issues like you have had, or most everyone I know. I asked myself if I had been given 2 options at 20, one to live a very active life full of sports and riding motorcycles and lived pain free but died at 67 or being in pain virtually your entire adult life but lived to 82 I know which one I would have signed up for. So even with the worst news possible I would have had no complaints with regard to my health.

Good summary here but a little long.

Cliff notes:

Drake is a pedo (there is evidence of him hitting on underage celebs). Also he likes to sneak diss other rappers so they all hate him. Also he has pedos in his crew.

Kendrick is a wife beater and a cuck (no proof of this).

Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
 

At least for me, and I'm assuming I'm not alone here, it's even more sad when someone younger than you dies. I was born in 1983, just saw a story about someone who died that was born in 1985. He was also married with kids. But even if he was just a single guy, that shit just fucking sucks. And every day you get older, the more this will happen, someone younger than you passing away.

This year several former students died. This happens from time to time but I feel like this year it was more than usual. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to experience.

Switching gears- Last fall I started to get this pain in my second toe after doing a Ragnar relay race. I thought no big deal it will go away it never did. In February I sucked it up and went to a podiatrist. I had a broken toe and it developed a bone spur and it was nerve pain as well as blistering my big toe, my options were a. wear a toe condom or b. get surgery but there is no guarantees the bone spur wouldn't return. I opted to wear a toe condom and did that for three months it felt and looked absurd. Wife told me she was not going out in public with me in flip flop season while wearing a toe condom. So now I am back to sucking it up but I have a race coming up in August so I can't get the surgery.

IMO, skip the race , get the surgery. IMO you're risking more without it.

Thanks but the race is now or never so it is going to happen.

Nobody knows someone who used to have a bad back, it's a lifelong condition. I have a back issue, my T4 is locked and it leaves me uncomfortable. I need a crack and I would be fine but the crack is unattainable. But that's nothing compared to people with real back pain and we all know them.

My old roommate's back is all jacked up. I honestly don't know how she deals with it. She's much tougher than me.
