Bells On
So, the day is finally here. My colonoscopy is at 1.
____________
Ave's take: Wear a seatbelt, bear down and pretend it's a motorcycle.
I am trying to quell the expectation that the doc is going to pat me on the hip post-probe and say, "Well, as I thought, it was an (insert harmless affliction)."
Sean and I will gleefully hand the cashier a $75 copay and head out for a brilliant, if kinda crampy, sunny Tuesday.
I am preparing for him to say, "Well, as I thought, it was fairly harmless, but we did take a few samples and will have them checked. Should know more in 7-10 business days."
We'll still pay and hold hands, it will still be sunny, I'll still be crampy, but, you know, I want to know.
Sigh.
Funny how I feel like the child today.

Here's what I have been using again and again to make my snorts and chortles chase the worries. Give it a whirl.

I've been traveling and not following my normal menu of blogs... so I'm just now learning the latest. Zut alors!
Go ahead and feel like a child today. Let the people who love you take care of you.
My fingers are crossed that the news you receive is news you can do something with --

Delurking to say good luck. Fingers crossed healthy colon and a large dose of whatever anesthesia they use.
My family has a history with colon cancer. I've actually ASKED my gyno for a colonoscopy, and she looked at me as if I might be some weird ass-rape fetishist. Alas I am just a please-no-cancer fetishist. My insurance did not provide for one, but I am still scared.
Good luck :)

Just wanted to say you're in my thoughts today. i agree with the first comment - let the people who love you take care of you. It's alright to let your girls see you be afraid - you're the one who will teach them how to deal with their own fear, and this is how you set the example. Take good care of yourself!

Hope the next post comes with some good news.
I couldn't believe this picture of Ave. I was the spit image of her at the same age, really funny.
Best of luck.

Oh you're all done! Hope you're feeling fine but still - let Sean and the girls baby you a bit.
And I really hope all the news is good news!
