Test results are good!

So far it looks great for my results unofficially, meaning non-doctor diagnosis, nurse statement,"no polyps or hemorrhoids!" YAY!

Still a mystery where the blood clots came from and blood in that occult test that was done at my GP's office by the PA, one too?

I was told to make a follow-up appointment, still waiting on the call back and also when I should take my night dose of aspirin again that was left blank on my follow-up instructions.

And yes, I was totally put to sleep and monitored, so I am not to drive/or use heavy machinery or make major decisions for twenty-four hours. All things I don't do anymore anyway, ha!

Oddly enough when doing the prep yesterday and it did start to work the last several discharges of internal waste burned like battery acid.
I asked the nurse this morning when I arrived and even she had no idea why that was?

Due to the  major discomfort I went into my Mommy memory of diaper rash last night and I applied zinc oxide cream (used for me as sunscreen) and corn starch (cooking soup and sauce thickener these days) accordingly, warm shower helped too! But to be honest it was the iced pack applied to my derriere that truly helped me get to sleep
Embarrassing with TMI, sorry folks, but you know me!
 Sorry Hubby!

All in all I do believe the recent news about statins and aspirins helping to prevent colon cancer that I may be that proof! I was put on both back in 2006 for high cholesterol and TIA's; still off brand use being researched, ask your doctor about it, just a suggestion.

Moving on...

Apparently, not far from where I was at the surgery center there was a major rain deluge of destructive proportions on a RV park, fortunately no one was injured but fences and some mobile structures were badly damaged, winds were heavy but rain accumulation was only about an inch or two. The temperature did lower twenty degrees during it all, even now it is only up from the sixties during it to seventy-eight degrees F, it has been mid eighties at this hour for weeks.

Our home when we arrived was fine and untouched by nature's wrath, thankfully, we are less than five miles south from the surgery center, so Hubby waited at home for me with Gus, they called him for me.The whole colonoscopy took less than thirty minutes but everything else caused it to be two hours.

We were very bad today with our choice for lunch, an every six month or so comfort food meal, two big macs, one medium fries, and two small chocolate shakes (usually we share one)that Hubby went inside for with all the rain and the drive-thru was bumper to bumper and he later reported inside it was nearly empty, good call for him!

Guilt goes along with the choice of this kind of fast food, especially when they now do have many healthier choices. But not eating all day yesterday, really, entitlement took sadly hold of that ordinarily apparently guilty me switching temporarily to a not so guilty me until my confession here. 

Life goes on in spite of my bad small decisions, ha!

On that note of what a dope, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
