Can not stand (or, should this be sit ) the prep work for the proceedure

That is great news. I still have to go every 5 yes because my mom passed with colon cancer and sister has had precancerous polyps.Fortunately I've been free of these .Hoping they will have another way of testing in 5 yrs., maybe blood test. Fingers crossed. Blessings Lynn

Fantastic news Fred.  At least one part of you is working just fine.

Fred,

I am so glad for you. Well your wife is like me. I am not sure when I will retire.

12 years is a long time. Congratulations. Yes I do hope that you make it here again.

Hey thanks for reading my little blog this week you all as I was pleased to hear that news but I know at my old age that one day I got to leave this life I have enjoyed for so long.... God has already granted me more days than I expected when the Army sent me to Vietnam and I came back alive after my back operation so close to my spine I could have been paralyzed then.... Then the stroke got me on my left side in 2004 and I'm still going....

It's just my sister, one of the twins, born in 1935, and me left alive far as we both know about... I'm my moms 18th child as the twins were number 16 and 17 child of our mom whom lived to be 82 and was born in 1898 while my dad passed in 1955 but was born in 1876 I think it was and far as he knew since he was brought to America as a slave from Africa as a small child.....All he knew was work and farming with his children before me.....

When you look at my picture here you are looking at him same height....
