Husband M had a colonoscopy done this past Oct 3. I had not been to the hospital in awhile and was impressed by how clean and well equipped the hospital was with excellent staff and volunteers. We are lucky to live here. The hospitals are always criticized ... overcrowding, being short staffed, and so on. But M was well taken care of on this day. In fact, they wanted to escort him to the car in a wheelchair. We decided it wasn't necessary, he just wanted to stop at the coffee shop in the hospital as he was starving from the previous day's fasting. He is to advise his siblings to get tested and his kids should have colonoscopies done at age 40. This is because he tends to have pre-cancerous type polyps which are removed and tested. This one was smaller than the one removed 2 years ago. The doctor also advised him to take 1000 iu Vitamin D tablets daily as these pills are thought to help prevent cancerous polyps.
My job was to drive M home after the procedure.
In other news, daughter L saw the Comet A3 on Saturday night up north in Muskoka where the skies were clear.

Hope all is well with him! Great that your daughter has seen the comet! Congratulations. We have tried many nights to see it, but there are always too many clouds here.
What a great spotting of the comet!
Luck is the word....
I'm glad everything went well for him. We have a center just for colonoscopies. It is very nice. Although, I wish we could go to the nearby hospital instead.
Such a wonderful picture of the comet!
All the best for your husband!
The photo is great.
I'm glad M is keeping up on his screenings.
Colonoscopies are not much fun. I wish they'd wheel me to the car as it takes a while for the sedative to wear off.
Hope that your husband recovers well! That's a great shot of comet.
beautiful comet and always hope you and your family always in a health condition...
I'm happy to hear that your husband came through the procedure and was well taken care of, Christine. My husband has to do the same, but I'm fortunate enough to only have to use a Cologuard test every three years. Blessings!
Health and well-being to you and your husband.
I've seen a lot of photos of the comet - beautiful.
I think that was the same day my grandson saw something but was not sure what.
I'm glad the procedure went smoothly. What a lovely photo!
Sorry, this is me, the other one is logged in in the wrong order... I'm glad the procedure went smoothly. What a lovely photograph!
Wonderful photo of the comet. The hospitals here are in some state, it is really bad. Glad all went well.
Haven't seen the comet yet. I'm very low on Vit D and take 2,000 IU. I guess it because I live in Northern part of the United States.
Great news and picture of the comet!
Always good to hear positive reports about hospitals and good for getting the word out on how important these tests are. Great comet photo from your daughter.
Fantastic picture! Thanks for the info on the vitamin D - had not heard that before. Hope he's feeling back to himself.
