Had a colonoscopy today

So it was time for the three year go of this wonderful test. The Dr gave me a clean bill of health, he found no polyps and he told me that I only need to come back every five years now. Wow five years, never even thought that was possible. It would have been really helpful though if the Dr I had was some older grandfatherly type, who really wants a cute Dr at this point? If there is a more embarrassing test to have done ever I would be surprised.

But anyway thank you all for always being supportive, life would suck without you.

    Here comes the Sun....
    That's great news!! It's comforting to know that though the clouds may be over some members today, the Sun does shine on people once in a while and their turn in the Sun might come with the next dawn. Keep up the good fortune. Congrats!!!
    Take care,

    Handsome doctors
    I know what you mean about the handsome young doctors! I had about 5 of them when I had my colonoscopy. And I wanted to be alert to see the scope myself! You're right - about the most embarrassing test ever!
    I'm so happy for you!
