What are you doing today?

Colonoscopy done and I am home. I was scheduled at 9:30 and never got into room until afternoon. Over scheduling again. Pain in the ass, no pun intended.
There were two polyps removed and everything else looked good. Doctor put in two clips to repair where the polyps were.
What is a hemostatic clip? Hemostatic clips are used to prevent bleeding in the GI tract. This is often after a polyp(s) has been removed from your colon or to treat a bleeding ulcer. Polyps are small growths of tissue that can be seen during a GI procedure.
 

@Pappy

You must have had a fair bit of discomfort, having 3 polyps. I never had a hemostatic clip.

I had a polyp removed in the late 90's. At that time, annual colonoscopy was recommended.

When I was asked, after my last coloscopy (mid-2000) why I was having it, when I had no bleeding or other issues - I decided to stop getting them.

I did have a polyp removed in the late 90's. At that time, annual colonoscopy was recommended.

That's lots!
 

I finished putting away most of the laundry from yesterday and did a couple of light, but necessary chores. I watched T.V. today and will watch a little more tonight. Also, my son and I had an hour and a half studio session this evening to continue fine tuning the mix of my lively Mambo.

I did a little catching up on my social networking but no where near as much as I intended.

Yesterday DH & I took our 10 month old grandson to lunch and the beach. The weather was warm and lovely though the Pacific was plenty chilly. A true California boy, he laughed when I dangled his feet in the water despite the cold.

We'll take him there often now that summer crowds are gone. .

SO cute! You're looking good too Lady. I sure wish I could've been there. Beautiful scenery.
 
I ran a few errands and housework today. Tomorrow (God willing), I will go and buy myself a birthday present or two. Hubby keeps asking me what I want. I don't need anything (well, I could use a new printer) but I haven't decided on which one I want.

Hi there! I had a nice long post here earlier today. Just before I hit the "submit" button , the internet went off. The entire post was lost!!

I saw the APN this morning, and now I have antibiotics that even a horse couldn't get down! 🐎

With no internet, I was able to read my book for a bit. I also went out and cut back some brush. I didn't do much though....I just wasn't feeling up to it.

I'm not going to try to rewrite my post, but it was a

Tomorrow, I'll be off to the roller rink. Good night, and have a great weekend!

Had terrible trouble with internet banking. Don't know how it is in the US, but in the UK to log on....
1.Enter ID and password
2. enter random letters from 'memorable information'.
3. Bank sends you a text with a 6 digit code to your phone
4. You enter this and if everything is OK, you get logged on.
Trouble is, the text never arrived. Tried a different route - that didn't work either. I was in danger of being locked out so I left it till this morning.
When I switched on my phone - there was the text! This problem receiving text messages has just started recently.

Anyway, everything worked OK this morning. After a wet night the weather improved this morning so we went out for a short walk. I made cream of mushroom soup for lunch and I'm making a paella for dinner.

That scared you, I'll bet...

I rarely have to get a code sent to my phone... usually entering ID and password & memorable numbers is enough for my bank and CC providers..just occasionally they'll do a check, especially if I'm doing an unusual transaction

This is the way my bank lets me log in as well. Sometimes, it's automatic, other times there's the
option to get a phone call with security #, or getting security # via text.

This is how my internet banking works, with the exception of #2. To be honest, I don't mind. Gives me a sense of security - if I have to jump through these hoops so would a potential hacker.
 
Today I've had to dig out the giant sail cloths which I use to cover the carpets and the sofas when the Grandfurkids (3) are about to visit.. particularly when it's wet outside, and it's been raining here for days.. altho' dry currently everything is wet in the garden and it's due to rain again tonight and tomorrow morning.. when they get here.. ..so I have to protect all my stuff from muddy paws as they dash in all excited...:D

Need to do some serious house cleaning this morning. Baby sitting an infant 3 days a week is heartwarming but exhausting. As a consequence, I've let the dusting slide. Problem with housework is that there's always more that can be done.

Updating on yesterday's post: Happy to report that I did indeed put in a few hours of general housework (including cleaning venetian blinds - ugh) and can see a difference in the areas I attacked.

On a less happy note, this is a large house with plenty more that needs doing so I'll hit it again today for a few hours.

there was a report in the papers recently which said that unless you have an Obvious serious problem, then Colonoscopies don't actually show anything more wrong with the bowel than the regular home checks which are sent out to perform at home..

I wish I'd read that before my last procedure.. that was a BEAR !!:rolleyes:

I avoided colonoscopies until three years ago when one of my sisters was diagnosed (early, thank goodness) with rectal cancer. Between surgery and chemo (maybe radiation, too, I can't fully recall), she's had clear test results over the past two years.

I got a colonoscopy tout de suite and got a clean bill of health other than a couple on non-concerning polyps that the doctor removed.

Been getting ready for the snow to fly. Put the four wheeler, and one of the zero turn mowers up on the covered second floor deck of the shop for the winter. Re-insulated the the pump room up in the other house next door, and hauled the last of the cut up gym equipment that I got dumpster shopping into the shop to be converted into a mobile stand for one of my welders, and the plasma cutter. This afternoon going to visit friends up north, and relax a bit.

Are you expecting that huge snowstorm in your part of the State, that I heard about, Geezer? Or are you just generally preparing for the change of season?

There were many flaws noted in the interpretation of that recent study, so I therefore believe that they still do save many from lots of terrible suffering, and from the dreadful and common outcomes, that we would all wish to avoid, even more than most of us want to avoid that procedure! :rolleyes:
Glad you had it done. And glad it is done!
