It's good. one polyp removed. Something that starts with a D, which I've had for years.

diverticulitis or diverticulosis?

Maybe all they found was a Dime but didn't tell him 'cause they wanted to keep it!

glad everything is ok. we need you around to tell some more stories of your adventures.

Get well soon, Buster.

Spec. "Sever diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon and descending colon." Per pre finale report.
Hey these parts will be 71 years old tomorrow. And are well used.:eyebrow:

Keep on keeping on, buster. And yes, tell us some more stories!

Went for blood work on Monday and screwed up and told my DR. that I was having chest pains. So an EKG and she said my breathing was bad.
She took me to ER, in her car, around the block and told them to give me a breathing treatment.
Well that didn't happen. Another EGK and more blood work, a chest x-ray. Never had a breathing treatment.
At 3:45 PM a DR. Came by and I told him, that at 4:15 I was going to unplug all the leads and be gone. Because I had no idea what time my Dr went home.
Anyway I called and she came and got me and took me to my car.
What service! I love my lady Dr. I guess there’s no protocol for what she wanted done.

Go figure. The VA clinic is provided by the same people as the ER. Maybe they’re double dipping?:mad2:

After reading all the papers that came with my Symbicort, I find you should wash your mouth out after use. Guess I forgot a few times.

Damn, if it ain't supposed to hang around in yer mouth, what the hell is it gonna do yer insides?!

presumably, the mouthpiece of the inhaler would be "unclean" and difficult to clean (that doesn't seem like a problem that would be difficult to fix, does it?) and cleaning one's mouth after using it is easier (and frankly more important). I guess.

I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Quote:

Symbicort contains a steroid that can cause oral thrush, if the steroid is left in the mouth for a while. So it is best to wash out your mouth with water to cleanse out the steroid.

Symbicort contains a combination of budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the body. Formoterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways to improve breathing.
