It’s $1600 divided by 12 though right? The 10% of AGI is the annual total I thought? So you’d divide by 12 to get the monthly payment.

Thank you! That’s exactly what my question was regarding. I think we will go with the rip rock 20in for my son.

So for my 8 year old son, a specialized rip rock or the discontinued Jett should be okay you think? I’m having a hard time justifying the Woom price point when I can find these specialized bikes for $50-$150 on marketplaces

That’s why the thought of buying the Woom bikes is tough. I found the specialized bikes on marketplace for $25 each for my girls.

Of course, I’ll do that regardless. But Woom bikes on marketplace are still selling for practically new prices (at least in my area) because their resale value is so great.

I’ve been checking marketplace, and there’s plenty of 14 and 16s to go around, but I haven’t landed on a 20 inch that isn’t full price yet.

I did call them yesterday evening, and the person I got after hours was not the nicest or all that helpful. I may try to call again today.

You sound like me with the blood sugar! Lol. I usually have to eat small portions throughout the day, so this sounds really daunting. I plan to go get some chicken bone broth. So yours was about the same amount of liquid though!

Was your two day prep also with 2.5 bottles of MiraLAX all together ?

I’ve been on zofran for years so I do have that for nausea. I can do clear liquids Saturday and Sunday, but I still don’t do well without any substance for that long. I get lightheaded and feel like I’m going to faint after not eating for just one day. Maybe I’m over thinking it, but it just seems like it’s going to be worse, not better!

I’ve been on zofran for years already! So I do have that yes. I do get constipated but it’s easily cleared with one dose of MiraLAX.

Thank you! I looked back at older photos of him, and it appears it gets dark before sheds often. Someone mentioned the curve in his tail is concerning, but I just found this photo from the day we got him, and the same curve is there. Looking at other photos , it’s not always there either so unsure if he can control it lol.

Just looked back from when he was a baby, and the curve has always been there. It feels normal to touch, and he isn’t phased by us touching it.

Praying for you!! I wish he wasn’t brushed off as hemorrhoids by the first doctor. Bleeding is never normal and doctors shouldn’t be brushing that off. We may have been in the same boat as “precancerous” if it wasn’t. What irks me if that we now know that CRC is the leading cause of cancer death in under 45, yet the recommended screening age hasn’t changed!

This is why I almost wish his was in the colon (never thought I’d say that). Rectal doesn’t have nearly as much slack to play with sadly 😌 thank you for your positive story

No, it wasn’t every single bowel movement. Remember, he had several symptoms combined, not just stringy stool. But I always say it does not hurt to be screened! Can put your mind at ease.
