I appreciate the new follows, fellow Blue Skyers! If I haven't followed you back, it's likely because I haven't had a chance, you don't have a bio or any posts, or I can't tell what your account is all about. I'll be checking my follower list to see if I've missed anyone or if others have posted. 😀

That’s great! My (estranged) father died from colorectal cancer at 78, but I don’t know details of his case. So I’m on the more frequent check plan.

Definitely! Glad you’re okay! I’m on a five year schedule due to family history.

Good thing I woke up at 4am for no reason so that I can be totally useless this afternoon.

But my joke is that I had a colonoscopy and they found a brain tumor. 😆🧠

Mary C. Henry, PhD @maryhenrygeo.bsky.social · 10h

Just coincidence I think. I had the colonoscopy on a Friday and just felt crappy all weekend. Headache on top of my head (weird place), some nausea. I finally let John take me to the local ER Monday evening. They did a CT scan to “rule out anything scary”. 🫠

Glad you’re done! 🎉 When I had my first colonoscopy, they found my brain tumor four days later. 🫠

The effect on Kenya’s short rains is apparent to my husband (who is there). 😬

The 3-month Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) just hit -0.5C (rounded from -0.451C). This is the minimum threshold for a La Nina. (Note: a La Nina Advisory is in effect.)
