Breakfast in hell and colonoscopy? Appropriate to have these subjects together, I suppose.

Jim, you got a raw deal with the pain and all there. I had the endoscopy and the colonoscopy done at the same time, so I was totally knocked out, so it was easy. Except for the women moving me around to get my you know what into position. I thought they might wait till I was out for that, but it's easier to tell someone to move than doing it manually. The day before drinking that stuff was the worst, and having to stay within ten feet of the throne. I got a clean bill of health, fortunately, and don't have to get it again for another ten years. Wooo hoooo!!! On top of that, the doctor told me that by that time he things they'll have this machine developed that is similar to a cat scan. I certainly hope so. As to the farting, I missed out on that, but think it as perhaps awkward experience (do the nurses put on gas masks?)

As to breakfast, I had fruit and an apple pastry. A banana, an apple, some cherries and honey dew melon. This was only because I was out of bacon and eggs, though I do try to alternate. Lots of days I fry bacon, and then scramble eggs in a little of the bacon fat, and have those square frozen homefries that I put in the oven, with apple pastry. Both my parents died of esophageal cancer, so I've given up coffee to prevent acid reflux. I miss it, but it does make me feel better physically, without the diuretic effects of draining all that water out of your system and all.
