Do not schedule dental work the next day like Aaron did.
Poor Aaron.

Awww...Susie! I'm sorry you have to go for more tests.
I know it's nasty to go through but, hopefully, it'll be worth it when it's over and you won't have any more pain.

They sure are Heather.......and now my primary doc calls today about the cat scan I had on Saturday. That came back fine, but she now wants me to make an appt with a urologist because although the bacteria was gone from my UTI right before Chrsitmas, it still had a little bit of blood in it. I didn't see anything. That's all I need now. A urologist! I'm trying so hard not to freak out!

If one of these tests could diagnose and then solve my pain, it will all be worth it!

My father had a colonoscopy- they gave him Picolax (very strong laxative which results in sips of water going from one end to the other) and he was very dehydrated and confused on the way back home after...

I hope you have family to take you home after


I also hope my father never finds out about the £20 I took from his wallet

You'll get through it just fine, Susie. I had an endoscopy a couple of years ago. I was out for it and not a problem. And you already know about the prep for colonoscopy from Jerry's experience. But sending you happy surgery vibes anyway]]]]]. And big hugs!
