Good news, my situation motivated my son and nephew to set up screening

I've been relentless in pushing colon screening ever since I was dx 9/9. My son today let me know he has a schedule with his MD for a first concult enroute to getting a colon screening. And my nephew let me know by emaill that he' getting screened as a 50th birthday present to himself.

FYI, I came home yesterday and am healing fairly quickly. Pain is less, but staminia is shot. However, there is no cancer onboard my bod. Of course, my 6 pack abs are shot. (Joke, more flab than ab. That too is changing.

    slow is the way to go
    For once, I'm doing as the docs say. I own the company so I don't have to rush back to work. I walk daily, but spend the rest of the time either in bed or a lazy boy lounger reading, surfing the web or watching TV. Will be so glad when the elections are over.

    Kind of sounds like you live not too far from those wind generators in the pass to Palm Springs, am I right? My geo skills are kind of rusty.

    I am now going to slowly make my way to the head, then slowly head for bed but quickly fall asleep!

    ---about 1/2 hour's drive East....
    ...and beyond, well, spa and casino (lol!). We live at the end of the valley, with a cool view of the San Bernardino mountains...(sadly, we could watch the fires that raged thru Lake Arrowhead last year with an unobstructed view).

    We go shopping in Cabazon...and have date shakes...
