I got a flyer from the community hospital, that had just invested in a lot of expensive equipment, touting their abilities now as a cancer center (yeah right. With Stanford half a dozen miles up the road), and after noting my name and address told me I was now over 50, y'know, wouldn't want to lose you too soon (or words to that effect). It was imperative that I schedule my colonoscopy today!<br /><br />Someone SO didn't do all their homework.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-46208666024925770742014-04-02T13:20:10.949-04:002014-04-02T13:20:10.949-04:00Aging is not for sissies.

One side of the step ladder sunk into a groundhog tunnel while I was balanced on the top step. I never went to the dr then. It has gotten to the point now that I may go see the chiropractor again. Usually I have only needed to see him when I was pregnant. Hey, it only took me 20 years to decide to get my hernia repaired last December. :)mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-21914311159955090812014-03-28T18:40:37.944-04:002014-03-28T18:40:37.944-04:00But on the upside, cnn recently reported that knit...But on the upside, cnn recently reported that knitting helps with anxiety.
