The weather here the last few days has been unseasonably warm. I don’t mind the warm weather one bit. I just hope the storms that usually occur behind it aren’t bad.
Today I had my last doctor appointment……the dreaded colonoscopy or my 50th birthday present to myself. It is what I refer to as the necessary evil. My appointment was at 11:00 this morning. Of course I was there early but did not get called until 12:15. I was not a happy camper.LOL As anyone knows who has had this procedure done you are already starving and any extra time you have to wait just makes it worse. I think we finally headed home after 2:00 p.m. All joking aside I was relieved to get a good report. Having a routine colonoscopy is so important in detecting cancer early. Sadly, earlier this month my cousin Billy died from colon cancer. I don’t think he had ever been tested. Early detection probably would have saved his life. So, as much as I complain about the prep and process of the procedure I am so grateful that it exists.
Laugh everyday. Happy trails. Stay safe.
I am 63 and just scheduled my first...not looking forward to it..Ugh! Glad you had a good outcome.
ReplyDeleteThe worst is the prep...after that it's a piece of cake..McGyver has to have one every 5 years..This year when we go back his Cardio guy wants the Colonoscopy and the Endoscopy..which is basically being reemed from both ends..YUCK!
ReplyDeleteI had mine last year and was surprised with the prep! I had to drink that junk but it went well and I was not soar thanks to plenty of Vaseline... TMI.. Oh well I had a good report too and wont have to go back for some time.

ReplyDeleteOhhh, well good for you. I hate the prep. Have had two, and have to have them every three years. Dreading the next one already. But yes, I agree it does save lives and I always feel good when it's over with...
ReplyDeleteThe prep is the worst and the recovery is the funniest....getting rid of all that air in your bowel. There was a loud chorus when I had mine!!! LOL!!!
