A Worthwhile Test

I have a routine colonoscopy coming up so I went to the drug store to purchase the necessary laxatives for the procedure. The cashier noticed my purchase and we got talking on the subject. She said it's a worthwhile procedure because her poor husband died from colon cancer at 59. He had flu-like symptoms for 2 years but never suspected what might be wrong with him. I told her I was sorry, but she said it was ok, that was 5 years ago. She reassured me by saying the procedure is less stressful than childbirth. Another lady joined the line and declared she had already had 5 colonoscopies and agreed with it being a worthwhile thing to have done. It seems the worst part is having to be on clear fluids only starting the day before the test.

To change the subject, I learned from the Paint Party Friday hosts that you can just use the Google translate button when browsing blogs written in another language. This is a useful piece of information and I started using this feature immediately. What a world Google has opened up for us!
