perks of my colonoscopy

yesterday i did the dreaded colonscopy. actually, the day before (the prep day) was muchMuchMUCH worse than the scope itself.
bottomline, doc found and removed one polyp, but believes it to be benign, hence, all seems to be fine at this point.

however, there was one HUGE "stroke me" during this experience which made my day, week, year, etc.

as i was rolled into the procedure room where there were 2 female nurses, the one towards the foot of the bed glanced at me and then at the screen, which was also at the foot of the bed.

as she was looking at the screen, she asked me how old i was, and then turned her glance back to me. i told her 55. she looked back at the screen, and said, "well, i saw that on the screen here, but thought there was an error. i have to tell you, you do not look your stated age at all."
i asked, "why? do i look 60?"
she said, "not at all, i thought you were much younger, that is why i was inquiring. i thought they had the birth year wrong."

yeh, i think i have a new best friend. too bad i was knocked out right after that and never did get her name.
