It's okay Bill...I'll try to be less neurotic in the future. Haha.

We need to get you to 3,000 posts, too.

You know how I've pointed out that math is not one of my strong subjects?

Last night I was about 5.5 miles into my run and I'm thinking I feel pretty good and I only have 3.5 miles to go. I keep running then I think, um... 5.5 + 3.5 does not = 8. I felt even better that I only had a little more than 2 miles to go at that time.

Some days I run just to run and I'll map it out later. Last night I was worried about getting there before practices were over. I ended up having plenty of time to spare.

Oh school...ahhhh...yay neuroticness? Haha.

Just studied colorectal cancer. Fun stuff...you know it takes min. 10 yrs to develop colo-rectal cancer--5 yrs for adenoma development and 5 years for it to turn into cancer...it seems like we should be a lot better at detecting adenomas/carcinomas...you know given that there is a 10 year window...screening anyone?

Congrats, Ann!

And me to 10000

ABSOLUTELY!!!

This is funny because I have a similar problem.  I live 1.3 miles from the trail system I do all my running at so I always have to add on 1.3 miles to my mileage to make sure I get in the full amount before I leave the trails.  I'm constantly coming home at +/- 1 mile of what I intended.

I lost an entire constellation this morning, but I'm working on getting them back.

Do you run home, too? Wouldn't that be an extra 2.6 on your run?

Yeah, I do.  Let's say I am aiming for 10 miles.  I will run to the trails and run around until I hit 8.7 miles on the Garmin.  then I'll leave and the 1.3 miles back home will get me to 10.  It's just that a lot of times 8.7 + 1.3 doesn't equal 10 in my head

Gotcha

Well...since you asked Bill--and these are Canadian guidelines...I assume American are the same

DRE is necessary--we've been told "if you don't stick your finger in it, you will stick your foot in it"...but that said...it will only detect the presence of blood or masses/irregularities to about 7cm (the rectum is 15cm)...so if a patient comes in presenting with abdominal cramping, bleeding, etc...well guess what.

Second step is fecal occult blood--but people don't like doing this...it involves smearing your own poo on a card with a stick and seeing if there is a colour change.

3rd step--barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy. It really depends on availability and risk assessment for what you get.

If you have family hx of colorectal with a relative who was diagnosed before 50 yrs or 2 first degree relatives with it then you should have colonoscopy at 40yrs or 10 yrs before the relatives cancer diagnosis whichever is earliest.

If you have family hx above 50 years or 1 first degree relative then colonoscopy at 40 years...

Normal screening guidelines for average risk with no family history is at 50 years...

You do know things. But I don't know any Robin Hood songs.
