My scope was all clear today!

Doctor confirmed my assumptions before i went under anesthesia, when I told him he may need to use a pediatric scope because of the jpouch and narrowing of the canal from scar tissue. When he came in the room aftwerwards he said "yes, Rob, you were right, you are a TIGHT ASS!"

Thanks Doc :shock:

Rob

I expect the same results from you Lee!

It's bright and early Saturday morn and I am sooo ready for this to be over. I cleaned and prepped yesterday, finishing at 1:30 am this morning, What joy!!! Hubby came down with flu or something yesterday and last night was 100.4, thus I arranged a ride with friend. Wish me luck, will let you know.

Well it done, thank goodness!! They found and removed one tiny sessile polyp in my transverse colon. I was assured this should not be a concern, but the pathology report which we will have next week will be the determine factor for my next scope to be in 2 or 3 yrs. Since polyps seem to pop up in my colon every so often, guess I don't mind getting scoped often. I much rather be safe than sorry.

Had a wonderful breakfast at The Good Egg. Am home now and will be taking it easy today, this evening. I think it's going to be a pizza night. Hubby is sick with the flu, I'm not allow to drive. The dinner we were suppose to have with friends has been cancelled.
