My Colonoscopy

I posted the following on Facebook on Thursday, March 3, 2011 in reference to Wednesday, March 2nd:

Colonoscopies can be a pain in the butt -- in my case, figuratively rather than literally. I had put mine off for almost 7 years, but finallly got the job done yesterday to fulfill a promise I had made to my wife after she was diagnosed with cancer last April.

Truthfully, other than the fear, the only hassle was going the day before without eating.

While my recovery took an hour or so longer than expected, once home, I was headed in to town within an hour and a half for dinner and concert with friends.

I encourage anyone else who is avoiding it to get it done -- the peace of mind is well worth it!!
