I had the dreaded colonoscopy yesterday. They did find a few polyps and now we await word from the lab but the G.I. doc didn't seem too concerned. I'm just happy that it's over.

Next up, the neuro doc. We shall see what fun stuff she has in mind. Actually I have sort of learned to come to terms with the neuro problems. They only affect my balance if I'm not careful and my fine motor skills are bad ( I can't fill out forms by hand and sometimes I still drop things but I've found that if I hold things by the bottom then I don't have the dropping problem...or at least not as much.) 

However ,on the plus side, my thinking ability hasn't been diminished, my legs work just fine, my energy level is up (except for the last day or so. The colonoscopy stressed the ol' bod I guess.Because of the asthma and the VCD, I had to have the procedure at the hospital. ) But I'm starting to feel like my old self again. 

I am so relieved that the test wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Even the prep the day before wasn't as bad bad as I thought. I just chugged it down every ten minutes as instructed and it did it's job.

Still recovering but feeling better,

Tom
