Major hurdle passed
Today I had an EGD/Colonoscopy, and if I remember correctly was a horrid patient. I kept trying to take the scope out, or screaming for it to come out, but now I don't remember the pain so much. But the results were EXCELLENT! After previously having icky gastric diagnoses, it was the first colonoscopy! Everything looked normal! No polyps, no ulcers, no evidence of reflux... he did take some cultures and I should know in about 10 days. If anything could have put a stop to having the surgery, this was the test that would have done it. I was home by 10:30. AND, unless problems occur, no colonoscopy for another 10 years...
