Sorry I have been AWOL, just lots going on and so exhausted all the time, the good news is except for wrapping today and tomorrow I am done with everything but Christmas dinner.
Also Colonsocpy results from yesterday:
The dr found what I think he called micro lesions ( he also congratulated me on my prep, because without it he wouldn't have seen them...lol...guess I am good at following directions...lol) he said that he thinks they are benign, but he will have them biopsied to be sure and if they are then I don't have to do this again for 1 to 2 years, thank goodness.
The procedure was fine, but this time the aftermath was harder on me. I have felt 'yucky all day, and am very tired though I took a nap when I got home...and for some reason, I have a return of bronchitis like coughing and bringing up crap..sigh,
Hopefully, I will be better growing forward now.
