Tuesday Evening Blessings

A heartfelt THANK YOU for all of the kind wishes as I endured the colonoscopy (more specifically, the prep). So….that’s that for three years. Yes, it’s down to three now instead of five. “Thanks, Mom.” Mom had polyps. My brother has polyps. My uncle and grandfather had colon cancer (both successfully treated in an early stage). And now I have polyps. Family history is positively negative in the colon department. But you know? I’m not complaining. Yesterday (which is the bad part of a colonoscopy) went by smoothly (as much as possible) and quickly (thanks in no small part to y’all! ). And, of course, you sleep through the actual procedure, so that’s no problem at all. I woke up, throwing country music history (verbally) at the nurse. I’m sure she wanted to hear it like she wanted a hole in the head, but at least it proved I was back in the “real world.” She brought me a Diet Coke to sip (and, after not drinking anything after about 4 AM, that flavorless garbage tasted great). It wasn’t long before I got the results, the notification to call in two weeks for the pathology report on the polyps, and a ride in a wheelchair to the front door, where my brother was waiting to take me home. I’ve had a nice nap (between severe thunderstorms ); and, most importantly, FOOD!!!!!!!!! That infamous potato soup hit the spot this evening…so much better than plain old chicken broth yesterday. The weather, as of right now, seems uncertain for Thursday. I’ll check the forecast again tomorrow, but I might have to wait until Friday to take off for Ohio. The photo is my trip two years ago out west. That’s Devils Tower behind me. Yes, it does look like a pile of mashed potatoes with gravy running down the sides. It was absolutely gorgeous, as was all of Wyoming that I saw. Y’all have a lovely evening, and again, thank you so much for your concerns, prayers, thoughts, and well-wishes over the past couple of days!!!
