I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
When I had my colonoscopy, they removed a very small bleeding polyp.
I had results as soon as they were ready.
Do you have advice nurses in your system? Because they can get you through real quick at Kaiser.
I suppose I can inquire through my family doctor, or I could try the hospital's main switchboard because I know there's a real live person answering the phones there.
Inquire through your doctor, just to be sure that your polyp is benign.
Still doing ok here.
About 39% containment on the fire.
Always follow-up because you know we cannot trust the system to work 100%.
You don't want to be someone who falls through the cracks in the system after going through that procedure.
You should have results in about 2 weeks after the procedure, if not, just call the office and ask all the questions you want.
I totally agree with Send and Golden. Follow through with this.
Please don't assume. Things fall through the cracks.
I had a hard time at the beginning of my last cancer diagnosis with just TOO many docs being on the thing. Each came to think the other was following up. It delayed things by close to a month. My own doc thought the Breast Health Clinic was on it and the Breast Health thought a surgeon and my own doc were on it and so on and so forth. I had GREAT care and MANY docs, social workers, but at once point I said "Please. WHO IS IN CHARGE. I can't tell over these two weeks of flying messages".
Just follow up. OR leave your doc a call that you haven't heard a darn thing and you "are ASSUMING therefore that everything is all right, but if it ISN'T then they should know that you are unaware of that and have no results. Just saying.............I die? I will haunt you".
Okay, I'll try another round of phone calls. But the whole thing is already making my blood boil, it reminds me of the days when doctors acted like gods and treated their patients like ignorant children, "there, there, don't worry your little head about that, I know best"! And it shouldn't take jumping through so many hoops to get a simple three sentence report - all I need is Report viewed. Polyp benign. Follow up in X years.
I will leave you alone and trust you have your best interests at heart.
I would bet just anything you are free and clear. I just am not much of a gambler overall.
And they SHOULD be letting you know.
It isn't like you're asking them to drink a gallon of clean-me-out juice and stick their bare bottoms in the air. You just are asking to know if you are OK.
I got concerned only because they suggested (If I heard right) you make a "follow up appointment" in two weeks. Usually they say "see you in another 10 years." Why would they want to SEE you; you will just get testy with them!

I am not happy with our governor’s decision to sign a controversial bill which requires all public schools from kindergarten to collegiate level to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
No other state mandates that the Ten Commandments are displayed in their public schools.
Our governor blatantly admitted that he can’t wait to get sued!
I support a person’s right to practice their religious beliefs in their homes, in religious schools or in churches. I don’t feel it is appropriate in public schools.
The ACLU has said that public schools are not Sunday schools.
This bill is violating the separation of church and state. It’s only the beginning with our governor. He’s ultra conservative. He’s the opposite of our former governor.
Texas, Oklahoma and Utah all tried to push this legislation through but have failed to do so.
I am embarrassed to say that our governor has succeeded in pushing this bill through.
He opened the door up for lawsuits. He’s bragging about being ready for a fight.
He’s super conservative. It won’t just be the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. There will also be a four paragraph context statement posted next to the Ten Commandments.
I fear what he will try next. He has spoken out negatively about the LBGQT+ community. I didn’t vote for him.
Thanks. I feel sorry for the kids who will be uncomfortable. Also, for parents who are opposed to this.
I know several public school teachers who are disappointed that this bill has passed.
I am so sick of religious conservatives trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. This doesn’t belong in public school classrooms at all.
Oh my gosh, they think they can ‘pray away’ anything that they believe is a sin, instead of accepting people as they are.
This fanatical thinking is so harmful and does nothing to unite our communities.
“ Ya just wonder where it’s going to end “.
At rock bottom , that’s what always happens with extremism . The stakes are much higher this time around .
My son and daughter in law will be 35 this year . They have been waiting for a sign of things going in a sane direction to have a child. I don’t see them having any .
My engaged daughter says she is also struggling with the decision to bring a child into this world . She has some time she’s almost 28.
I do not try to persuade my children either way . I stay neutral . In my head though I’m saying ….Can’t say that I blame them .
Anabanana,
Some of them read history books as a manual for evil , rather than a lesson to avoid repeating history.
Yes childcare cost and wait lists for daycare are another concern , or finding a reliable babysitter . And grandma ( me) doesn’t live close by . 45 minutes from my son, alittle over an hour from my daughter . My daughter in law is an orphan . My daughters future in laws are 8-10 hours away . So due to distance , no potential significant grandparent help even if they were willing . The most I would do is a couple of days and would stay overnight I guess . Moving closer to my kids would cost too much . The kids ( especially my daughter ) live closer to Philadelphia than I do . Cost of housing is insane .
It’s a sad , scary , out of control time . I feel bad for our kids .
My MIL frequently complains that nobody talks to her in line in a store or in a waiting room at the doctors office because everyone is looking down at their phones all the time.
MIL has always been that chatty Cathy person with strangers wherever she goes.
Not me . I’ve always been quiet in line . Before phones I would look busy ready a magazine on purpose . My DH will put his ear buds in on an airplane with nothing playing in them sometimes if he doesn’t feel like talking to strangers on an airplane and/ or wants to nap . He’s traveled a lot for work his whole adult life . He’s just tired of the traveling and now likes to nap on the airplane , makes the time go . No more than 5 more years to go he hopes until retirement . Then he wants to find a part time work from home only gig .
We know my husband would be bored to tears going cold turkey . He already has some part time work ideas in his head .
I’m part time already but I do everything around the house too . DH works long hours so , It works for us this way .
