Baby Food

I have been notified by my primary healthcare provider that an appointment with a gastroenterologist in town was established for me. The colonoscopy consultation appointment is scheduled for the first week of July. In discussions with one of my senior citizen buddies, I learned that I would have to consume a strong laxative the night before the colonoscopy. Involuntary bowel movements could continue into the morning. In addition, the normal procedure calls for general anesthesia. My senior citizen buddy, in his own experience, was told that he should not drive an automobile or ride the bus to the clinic for obvious reasons. And, after the procedure, he was told that he would not be released unless he had arranged for transportation (as a precaution due to the effects of general anesthesia).

Silence, Little Lamb!
Obviously, I will not be able to meet the any of the aforementioned stipulations. My commute time from Waimanalo to town is at least two hours. And, there is no one available to give me a ride to and from the clinic. Thus, I will have to postpone the colonoscopy. I will inquire if the simple stool sample test can suffice in the interim.

Typical Sensitive Hottie
And, sadly, my right rear molar has suddenly become extremely temperature sensitive. I suspect that there is a small crack in it. I cannot fathom the thought of another root canal. In addition, I would not be able chew anything on either side of my mouth after the procedure. Will I need to commence eating baby food? Well, at the least, baby food is probably good for the colon.

Typical Macedonian Hottie
Speaking of the colon, the shitty surveillance robot has made two unexpected visits in the last couple of days. What? Are we all Macedonians now?
