I finally had the colonoscopy that I've been avoiding for the past ten years.  I figured it was time for me to break down and just get it done.  I sure hope I don't have to do that again for a long, long time.  They did remove one small polyp and sent it out for testing.  I won't get the results of that for a couple of weeks.  Now maybe I can relax a bit.  I was so uptight and nervous about it.

I don't know about anyone else, but the whole process was a dream - I slept thru it! Worst part of it was the prep to clean everything out. They forgot to tell me not to get more than 6 feet from the bathroom - maybe just sit a lawn chair in the tub and grab a stack of magazines. I seriously told the MD that he should add a warning to their instruction sheet. Our facility could test the single tiny polyp he found and give a report of benign. MD stopped by while I was waking up and gave DH a report saying they'd see me in 10 years. Hah! In 10 years I'll let nature take it's course.

Best part was the tea and big muffin they had ready for me when I woke up - I was starved.

Originally they said the next one would be in ten years.
