The Joy of a Colonoscopy

 I know – a contradiction in terms. However, it does rule out the dreaded “C.” I have a family history of colon Cancer and I had symptoms. It took five years to finally reach the point of an internal investigation. I prepared for the worst. I was spared!! I will now celebrate! 1. Well, on […]
