You know, I hate the prep work for that, but the couple of hours after the procedure, after you wake up...that's the best I ever feel. I'm not tired or sleepy, just extremely calm and carefree.On that note, my GI doc informed me that I am past due for my five year alien butt probe (colonoscopy). I need to set up an appointment.
Lots of places here are like that, but in suburban areas especially developers tend to build new neighborhoods with homeowners associations. HOAs are effective in keeping eyesores as far as paint colors, outlandish landscaping, or lack thereof, etc., out of your neighborhood. What always amazed me is that people knowingly buy a home in a HOA and then expect to NOT have to follow the rules. Full disclosure, I was a board member and officer of a HOA for many, many years. Most HOAs aren't unreasonable, like the 1/2 inch too high grass, but those are the ones you hear about.
The newer machines aren't painful at all. I remember the first couple I had and was left with actual bruises. Didn't go back for several years because of that. Finally did and what a difference.
When I was getting daily radiation treatments for cancer, there was a women getting daily radiation therapy for breast cancer, in addition to chemo. Our radiation appointments were at the same time for just over a month. By the time my treatments ended, she looked beaten down. I felt so bad for her.
I am walking, talking evidence that early diagnosis of cancer is critical, so any temporary discomfort is worth it.

Do you still get back handers ?Same here. It seems that some HOAs have board members who need to get a life... or a job... or both. Ours was always easy to deal with when I was on the board, and still seems to be.
But, as you said, there are always a few homeowners who "don't seem to remember" signing the papers at closing agreeing to pay the HOA, and abide by the rules. Those were the ones who pounded on my door at 8PM ranting about something trivial.
Most of the ranting I got was about people's front yards not being watered enough during city mandated water restrictions. "What part of "city mandated water restrictions" did they not understand?
I haven't been on the board for over ten years, but the City of Frisco still has me officially listed as Board President. So, every once in a while (two or three times a year), someone in the neighborhood will come out and stop me when I'm walking my dog to give me an earful.

That is hot. We had even 37c these days. It is hard to take,at least for me. But I am finding ways to manage.
Sorry I have missed lots and lots of posts...I glimpsed your Mom not needing surgery, but cannot find the post now.
Somewhat off balance, one may think...
