What if?
Today I had a colonoscopy!  And I feel great!  Yesterday, not so much.  The preparation is much worse that the actual procedure.  Started yesterday with knowing I was to eat nothing and could only have "clear" liquids which included the 4 liter jug of "drain cleaner" which was to be consumed 8 ounces at a time every 10 minutes till gone starting at 4 pm.  Well, went to church after my breakfast of coffee and my 2 pills.  During service I cheated and took communion which included a 3/8 inch square of bread.  Had a cup of coffee after service, ran to work to do payroll, then to the new Pybus market to watch a abacus demonstration and home.  Had a slight headache from not eating but managed to read and do a few things before starting my drinking quest.  Once I started on the jug I was doing ok despite the syrupy taste of the drink.  About half through the jug the dam broke.  I spent the rest of my evening dashing to the bathroom, pouring it in one end and out the other, but feeling bloated anyway.  But, this morning was a breeze, so much so I don't even remember them shooting the drug into my pre-installed I V.  Came home before noon, had breakfast, and slept till after 3.  Enough of that detail, now the what ifs that flew threw through my mind.  What if they find something?  What if I die on the table?  What if cancer is cured, how much would our life expectancy jump?  Wow, did I have plenty to think about, but more importantly I have plenty to be thankful for.  Love your family, you don't know how long you have together.  Blessings to you and them, Dwight
