I'm into sharing lately. I don't know why. Usually I don't do that. But I felt as though this was important.
As some know, my Mom died 2 months ago. It was discovered that she had signet ring carcinoma. Which is a very aggressive cancer. If the ARDS didn't kill her, the cancer would have. Since then I have pretty much been "wigged" out about the whole thing.
I have been for my "yearly humiliation" which I haven't done in about 5-6 years. I've had the top portion of my body "squished". It being October, breast cancer month, I thought it was about time to do that.But this morning a little after 8 am, I had a colonoscopy. Yes folks...a COLONOSCOPY. And yes, these are pictures of my colon. The worse part about the "whole" ordeal was drinking that vile concoction. It reminded me of when you smell something electrical burning, that is what I imagine that would taste like.
After it was all over and done the first thing we did was eat. I have NEVER gone without food on purpose for 24 hours. Hello, quesadilla explosion!!!
Anyway...
I go back a week from today to see the doctor. According to him, everything looked fine. They did find and removed small polyps. Those are the small white spots on the pictures. Isn't that the most amazing thing?? Look at all of the little blood vessels.
In about 5 years, I'll have to have this done again. Just in case...

I'll never be able to look you in the face again. The words quesadilla explosion and colonoscopy in the same paragraph. Wow, Dreama - post a warning, okay?
LOL - you know I'm just kidding. Cool pics. Will you save them in case we do a group Apologia Anatomy class? Those would look great on powerpoint. :-)
Oh Wow....EWWWWW! Pretty gross...
However, I feel like our friendship has reached a whole new level. (love you, too! lol)
Leslie and Julie: I'm so glad you enjoyed the pictures! Ya, I'll save them for any class that we choose to do. Whole new level...how about whole new lower level??? LOL
