OT: Advice For Those Who Might Need It

Howdy Virginia,

 

Hi Butch,

You are exactly right .. I was very surprised at how simple the test was.

The preparation phase is simply a (normally) 24 hour period prior to the

procedure where one swallows a couple of medications that empty the bowel ..

and they must consume only liquids. The prep phase is merely an

inconvenience but it is the worst part and your comment further brings home

the point of my original message that folks should not procrastinate .. if

one is over 50 they should get the test even if they think they are in the

best of health. I put it off for 15 years and I now realize what a

foolish decision that was. I might have continued to procrastinate if I

had not married and had a son .. and if my buddy in Georgia (a 67 year

picture of health whop had a problem and beat it) had not bugged me to get

the test.

 

Glad everything turned out well.

Thank you ma'am. I did a Snoopy Happy Dance .. but we gotta go for the

test if we wanna dance. :-)
