Ultrasound and other procedures . . .

Hello Everyone,

Last week was a busy one for me. First I had been having problems with my stomach for a while and not surprisingly the specialist wanted me to get a colonoscopy. Although not at all thrilled with the idea I had this procedure done. Everything is fine with my insides, he could not find a thing wrong, so that is great news. Also, for anyone who has not had this procedure but may in the future . . . it's not a big deal at all. They say the prep is the worst . . cleaning out your colon!! I know it's different for everyone, but it was not bad for me at all. And I don't remember a thing about the procedure. I think the worst part for me was the gas pain when I woke back up. They fill you with air to open things up and get a better look. They don't let you leave until you've passed some of this air. Once things got to moving around inside me and I was able to get rid of some of the air I felt much better.

I also had an ultrasound of my right breast a couple days later. This was a follow-up to check on a small cyst they saw during a procedure while getting me ready for surgery last year. The ultrasound turned out well and everything looks great. I go in April for a mamogram.

Several of my family members have had really bad colds. They are better or are getting better but now I think I'm getting it. Have had a small sore throat the last couple days and now it hurts when I cough. WOW, it just seems like it's constantly one thing after the other!!

I'm so tired of medical stuff!!! I'm in the process of psyching myself up to be healthy and have much more energy. I'm going to work on this for a couple of days and then go for it and try not to let things get me down!!

I go Friday for my monthly blood work and visit with my oncologist. I'll let you know if anything new comes up.

Keep Smilin'
