Home safe from my colonoscopy! Thank you everyone for your help and concern [View all]

Phew. Good to get it over with, they found four small polyps which were completely removed, and they want me to get another colonoscopy in three years. Of course there’s always pending lab test results. Not gonna worry about that right now. The doctor didn’t seem worried. Just glad to get through it, had a nice nap. Good looking young doctor but I didn’t see much of him. Thanks again everyone, take care of yourselves. Your comments and suggestions were very much appreciated 🙏🏻
