2. That was the last thing I thought of when you said you "scheduled" your present.
I was thinking of an appointment in Reno or Carson City. :P

3. actually that thought never came to my mind,
my doctor told me that when I turned 50 that it would be wise to do it. Some test done late last year showed the beginnings of some polyps forming.

Since I turned 50 back in February, I've been putting it off.

6. I got mine done late last year
It's no big thing (even the prep). And the happy juice they give you feels pretty good.

Happy Birthday and enjoy!

4. I just turned 50 myself
and my doctor has gleefully scheduled me for both a routine colonoscopy and prostate exam.

I think the man must have worked at gitmo for shrub.

5. Wow. VE Day for a birthday. Isn't it also Harry Truman's birthday.
Have fun with the colonoscopy!
