Prepping For The Big C And Other Stuff

If you got excited reading the heading that MJH might have cancer I'm sorry to disappoint you. Tomorrow, I will have my 8th colonoscopy. Today is prep day. If you've never had one here's the plan. No solid foods. No drinking anything with the color red. I have a jug about the size of a gallon of milk filled with some kind of powder and filled to the top with water and a packet of lemon granules poured it. I begin drinking at 3 pm, half of it. At three in the morning I wake up and glug down the other half.

My first colonoscopy was the worst. The anesthesiologist didn't give me enough knock out drug. I woke up half way through the procedure with a hot poker up my rear end screaming, "Mommy".
In the old days I took a bottle, about 16 oz., of something called Fleet. It cleaned me out lickety-split. I figure some other companies found out about them and formed a cabal to keep them in power.

Ilhan Omar wants an overthrow of our government.  Yes, she came out and said this.What a maroon! She just took in a million in donations and transferred it to her husbands(second or might be third). Try that in Mogadishu. Anyway, I thought when congressmen took their oath it said something about protecting and defending the Constitution. That must have been the other Constitution.

Dublin, Ohio has gone into a COVID lockdown. I don't know why. We're required to wear masks wherever we go. Ha-ha! A few weeks ago I received a note from my doctor to get out of a couple of country clubs I'd joined. I was having a difficult time breathing and a couple of times couldn't finish playing 9 holes. He was kind enough to send me a 'get out of jail free' card. Not only that but he jazzed it up. I do have COPD but then he put in a note about severe asthma. Wow! Even I didn't know that. Thanks, Doc. You save me $500 a month in fees which I didn't use.

The Memorial Golf Tournament was shoved back to this week. It's a biggie and takes place across the street from our condo. The reason for the cancellation was to try and get people into the venue. Normally, one will see 30,000 walking around. The powers to be cut it down to 10,000. Hello! The Mayor of Dublin put in the mask rule and said no spectators could attend. Too bad. It's one more fake cancellation we have to abide by.

Back to the colonoscopy: I always leave my anesthesiologist with one strict order before he knocks me out. "Hey, Doc, don't screw it up" except the screw word begins with an F. Codgers can get away with this stuff.
