ps. If anyone is ever done around this area, please feel free to reach out. Happy to host for a cup of tea. Just ping me if you can the day before to see if I will be home.
 
Just slipping some fruit into the wonder fridge for later. I bought too much when I went grocery shopping this week.

Hi all. Sorry for not responding earlier, or for causing any concern.
It was a colonoscopy -- 10 yr repeat as my mother was treated for pre-cancerous polyps. As it turns out, I seem to have picked up that genetic trait. I am now been put into 5 year repeats as a polyp required removal. It will be tested of course; however, at this time, i would say it is fine.
On the plus side, it is something that I am aware of to watch out for, so , not going to sneak up on me (or shouldn't), and is fairly relatively easily handled.
The prep was not as tough as I remember it, but, then maybe lots of GI issues over the years from metformin have made me less surprised by it all, well, and GI days during cancer treatment, too. On the plus side, I now know how much I weight when I am not full of sh**.

@Waterfall , you were just down the road from me - 10km from my house to Stillwaters. Paris is a lovely place to wander, and I am so glad that you got out, and enjoyed time with a friend. I particularly enjoy John Hall Linens there.

@chansen - i never thought about getting passes to the ROM at the library . good to know

It is good to be aware and comprehensive about such things ... but if your doctor isn't, you're in a bad way. An old adage declares you cannot tell an authority much! They too have their limits regarding and mental extension courses ... there is an infinity of things to learn out there, no end to it and note how much is in the dark beyond us!

Mortal limiting is quite a test ... to examine human reach! Isn't that alien being we are told to accept certain specifics? Leads on to uncertainty theory given our confined knowledge ... if you go further they'll deny Yah ...

Is a life of learning much longer than we anticipated at an earlier time? Like in the first decade did we believe we knew it all? Should this be impressed on little people rather than loading them up with nonsense that they are the best? Does this set them up for conflict and enigma? Sometimes the very thought of what's missing is significant ...

Good morning! Garbage and recycle bins and the critter trying to get into them, eating 'real' food, family day in Toronto, aging bodies and cars, fruit in the Wonderfridge, and all the things that will come up today; it comes with us to the Coffee Cart, for chat, discussion, support, and connection. We do this over coffee, tea, and baked things; which this morning is cinnamon buns. The tea water is boiling, coffee freshbrewed, and the buns warm from the bakery. All is ready, all are welcome. Come in and join in!

I had a lovely lunch with a couple of friends at the local art gallery, which houses a delightful little cafe.

And yesterday, got a lovely package in the mail from my fav cuz. A couple of mementos of my grandma (a lovely old hairbrush and some hand-embroidered doilies, and a hilarious T-shirt which says

I seem to be on a medical roll, nothing major, just lots of catch-ups: dentists, eye appointments, cyst removal, and of course those periodic tests.
Is this part of being over 65?
Throw in the heart stuff from earlier in June, and I seem to have to constantly check my calendar for if I have a medical appointment.

They are all trivial, or well, relatively trivial. I know others don't have it so lucky.
Guess this is the "new normal"
 
I've been doing pretty well on that front. Just my regular bloods for my diabetes. I have a dermatology appointment in the Fall but will likely cancel. The issue I was referred for has cleared and the dermatologist's reputation isn't the greatest. Sounds like she's more interested in her cosmetic business than practicing medicine. Problem is, there aren't many left in this city. The one I saw years ago retired in the Spring after working only part time in recent years out of someone else's practice.

I think it is the new normal. So much time and money dealing with medical stuff. .
It gets quite frustrating when I tell my doc about a symptom,, tests are made but come back normal. However, the same test shows I need another test to seek the cause of something else entirely.
If these are the golden years I want to find the gold!
 
My calendar is filled with medical related things these days. I call it my leash.

Speaking of which, today was bloodwork day. I got that done and then went to lunch with my sister. I saw Mr Mo5 there and thought "that looks like K". Then Mo5 saw me and squealed. We had a hug then the three of them sat at the table beside us. It was a nice visit and lunch all around. She says hi.
 
My sister had another MRI and found out that her original lung tumour has grown some as well as one of her metastases.
All the others were ok. So she is now getting radiation, first on her neck mets and after that on the lung tumour.
She continues her immun treatment in between. Probably to be expected with a stage 4 cancer but of course still a shock.
I am going to video with her on Sunday…
Meanwhile NS fires have been kept at 3100 hectares for the third day. Rain to be expected on Monday. Before that, Erin will bring some wind. No houses damaged so far.
 
I was reminded that joy and sunshine lives amongst sadness and clouds.

it seems that is the norm these days, maybe part of aging.
Northwind, how lovely to see Mo5. (and mr. Mo5)
Mrs. Anteater, sorry for your news re your sister. Let's hope the immune treatment keeps it at bay
 
I love Stratford Ontario. My husband, sister-in-law and I will see Anne of Green Gables today. We already saw Macbeth which was pure genius, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels which was masterful comedy. And I’ve met up with friends I hung out with in my 20s. Life is good.
 
Good morning! Medical appointments, lunch with family and friends, tumors growing, meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Mo5, finding sunshine in the clouds, plays in Stratford, and all the other stuff that arises comes with us to the Coffee Cart. We adjust to 'new normal,' aware that normal never seems to last forever; maybe part of life's task is adapting to new routines. Even with all the changes and curves, may we find that life is worth it.
Today with coffee and tea, we enjoy bagels with assorted toppings. The tea water is boiling, coffee freshbrewed, and bagels toasted to a lovely golden brown. Everything is ready, everybody is welcome. Come join the fun!

I got a peek at some strange relations this last short while ... we seem to be in a health crisis that appears to contagious because of being ignored ... in favor of enriching the economic side ... not the human side ...

Peculiar observation as it appears few others can see it! Kind of like and air, Eire or soulful wind ... poverty is really contagious to the point of being source of corruption of vast systems ... very bothersome, worrisome, a just care as Anis? Wicked storm of Sophia ...
 
Then as always I plunge into complex domains ... like cultivating swamps ... a lot of conversion of waste goes on there ...

Some simply drain them and the Rael creatures thus have no place to safely roost ... mango?
 
I haven't been there in a long time. Not sure my visits count as getting "cultured up" though. I tend to head for the natural science galleries. (little kid expression)Dinosaurs! Cool!(back to adult expression).
