Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

Excuse my stilted, concrete brain that refuses to understand things.... but what does 'minimum residue diet apaz' mean?
My saturday was spent organising uni notes (a big job) and starting to clean my room. Was supposed to be at a party tonight, but I'm too negative to socialise tonight.

@TAB @Former-Member. I've had the colonoscopy. Other than the drink you have to have - it was easy.

I remember the nurse talking to me on the table - asking me if I was ready...... next thing I say "okay I'm ready" and she said it was all done and finished. WT. lol.

I didn't even realise I was going under. Very strange. But no pain at all.

Re: Just checking in.

I was supposed to start colonoscopies at 30... but I haven't subjected myself to it. I really should as bowel cancer runs in my family.
Good luck with it @TAB
