Re: “I have a colonoscopy next Monday for further exploration. Always wanted a scope plunged up my butt.”Given that colon cancer takes ten years to develop from precancerous polyps, a precautionary colonoscopy every few years is simply common sense.

My first is scheduled for next month. When I recently spoke with my cardiologist - who is younger and looks fitter than me - he told me that he has had six. "It's no big deal," he said. And I expect that he's right.

It only took seven attempts to get an I.V. needle into the back of my hand. One of the nurses finally called the LAB to send someone who did it in two tries.

I could glow in the dark under black light when I got home.. SO I have an affirmed case of diverticulitis in my lower colon on the right side.

I have no idea how that happens or how one gets rid of it but that's what I have a Gastroenterologist for now..

I don;t think I have any blood left to spare for the LAB tests. Between constant monitoring for everything I have had in the past year.

I have a colonoscopy next Monday for further exploration. Always wanted a scope plunged up my butt.

So, I think I am retiring from tests after this..
