Well, you'll have to forgive me on account of my
irony board was out.
This procedure is something I've been putting off with the ridiculous and callow excuse that my other medical issues trump a colonoscopy, despite the fact that my mother died 4 years ago of colon cancer, totally untreated. She had not been to a doctor since I was born and used to laugh at the medicos, yet she made it to 82 and only spent 2 days in the dreaded hospital before kind nature signaled her retreat.
It is heartening and encouraging to read your apprehensions and experiences. It emboldens me to have it done. I don't fear death as it could come at any time with my other issues but the only thing I truly fear are hospitals with their environment of disease and suffering, added to a lack of control. Irrational perhaps, but I am human, as I often remind myself.
