Thanks, Cathy. I forwarded a copy of your response to her so she'll know
people are praying for a good outcome. On Friday, I have to go talk to
the dr. who'll help me decide whether to have a seigmodoscopy (sp?) or
colonoscopy (because I'm in perimenopause & I'm 42, not because they
suspect any cancer) and I'll admit I'm getting a little nervous about the
whole idea of it all. More afraid of a colonoscopy because I'd have to
be put out for it and that's only happened once before when I had wisdom
teeth removed. Fortunately, I've managed to avoid hospitals for the most
part (except the birth of my kids which was pretty routine).
