Now That You're 50

Dr: Barbie, you're in great shape for a woman of 50!
Barbie: Thank you, Dr.


Dr: There is one more test I'd like you to have. . . for screening purposes.
Barbie: What's that?


Dr: A colonoscopy. When you set up the appointment, you'll get all the instructions.
Barbie: Thank you. I'll be sure to schedule an appointment.


Dr: Good!
Barbie: Good-bye, doctor.
Dr: Good-bye, Barbie.

Barbie (thinking as she walks out the door): Everyone says the prep is the worst. Oh, I hate to think of it, but I know it's good to be screened to be certain there are no problems.


Barbie: Oh, I just remembered, my friend, Wanita, is having a colonoscopy tomorrow. I'll be sure to pray for her. And I'll give her a call afterwards to be sure everything is OK.

Oh, I read this with much interest! When Barbie was going to have a screening, I was sure it would be a mammogram! =)

I hope and pray that all goes well with you today, dear friend.
