Not exactly best headline, but it ends well:

A caving project became a rescue mission after a dog was found 500 feet down

NASA Has Plans to Probe Uranus​

(lol)​

then there's the ALT page name

Meh. No big deal. My doctor does this every couple of years.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I gotta get mine probed soon. Sucks getting old. They do call it a better name than Uranus Probe, but colonoscopy is not much better.

2 I've had, prep is worse than the procedure

 

[balrog]

Prep is an interesting exercise in explosive decompression, but over the last few years the anesthesia has progressed from Versa-something/Demerol to Prophen-something, which makes waking up much more like a light switch flipping than swimming interminably up through the seaweed festooned consciousness for half an hour.

Umm....Ok?

I've been 'scoped twice, both under Versed, and yeah, snapping out of that haze takes some time.
I imagine the "Prophen-something" might be Propofol.
I'm over-due for another session, maybe I'll get that this time.
Prep is never fun. I tried avoiding food the day before but it didn't really help cut the cramping that much...

Cheers!

looks like that's supposed to be a media embed, but it's not working for me... believe this was the desired video:

You should try the crap in a box system. No hospital, etc. All done at home!

Yeah, that's only for peeps who don't have a familial history lurking over them.
My dad had a foot of his colon removed (and lived another 20 years) so I have to go the hard-core route.
"Thanks, Dad!"

If CPS never stepped in after they named the kid Epic, they're not going in now.

My first is coming up on the 31st. Doctor has me on a no-fiber diet for a whole week before. I am not looking forward to a whole week of nothing but white rice, chicken, eggs and white bread...

Never had to go thru that with any of mine (had at least three so far.) Did doc say why they wanted you doing this as part of prep?

Nope. I’ve never even seen the doc. My last appt I saw a nurse (?) who gave me a 10 page prep guideline and asked if I had any questions. I’m not sure if I will ever actually see the doc. They might have me knocked out before he gets there…

So after my last procto-exploratory exam, the buttmeister told me that I've reached the age where 'Uranus probes' are no longer required or desired. Seems that if colorectal "C" presented, it is so slow to matasticise that, statistically, something else would kill me first!

Not so sure that's a good thing.

As did I, for over 50 years. I remember you mentioning you worked for IBM probably, during the same time that I worked there. One of these days I’ll PM you. If we don’t know each other we likely still know some of the same people.

While totally awesome, that headline seems improbable. Here's what the site has right now:

The local FOX affiliate was a bit more restrained...

Dick’s originally began in that county as a sporting goods shop way back when I was a kid. There were two stores, the main store in Binghamton and a smaller satellite store in Vestal closer to my house. It was founded by the Stack family. My sister-in-law is a Stack.

I got all excited until I sorted out it wasn’t Johnson City TN.

I know they've been doing this kind of thing for a while, but I still find it worth a chuckle
