Terri, after doing the prep for my colonoscopy (which didn’t go well), I could hardly walk into the surgery center. I got on the bed, the nurse put the blood pressure cuff on me, took my pressure and let it go down. Then she let it rest about a minute and took my BP again. I said what is it? She said 200/101. I was so afraid they wouldn’t do my procedure with it that high. The anesthesiologist and the dr came and checked on me. They decided that knocking me out would lower my pressure so they would go ahead. My pressure after 200/95. They told me to go home and take my BP meds. I did shock the doc though. He asked me if I’d had a colonoscopy before. I said yes. He said how long ago. I said 40 years. He nearly fell off the stool he was sitting on. He said you got in when they were just beginning to be a diagnostic tool in the 80’s. He said I ask most patients that question and you are the first to ever say 40 years! I hope you have a quick recovery!

I have a couple of blocks done. Both for Janice. I promised myself I would try to avoid difficult, first one has 98 pieces! I’m not a good listener I guess. Well, they wouldn’t load so I guess I need to check the sizing again. Sorry Janice!
