Busy Week

This week Joe and I both had a colonoscopy. My Dr. had told me for 3 years to get one and I just "put it off". Finally I realized the importance of the test so I made the appointment. Joe also made an appointment. His was Thursday and mine Friday. We had different doctors. His doctor told him to drink a GIANT container of the salty stuff. My doctor told me to drink 2 little bottles; 3 ounces in all! And lots of water. This is to clean out your colon so they can run in a little tube and look for problems. It is nothing to be feared because I was asleep and the procedure was painless and I was just sleepy afterward. We both got good reports. Joe didn't have any polyps. I had one that the doctor removed and said it wasn't cancer. If anybody is putting this off, please go have it done. These polyps are usually harmless when removed while they are small. I feel good to know that I'm taking care of my body and getting as healthy as I can.
