Hi Mak:
Glad to see you are home and that everything went well.
You are so right about colonoscopy screening. I had it
done bout 4 years ago. Doc will prob make me go again
next year altho they didn't find anything the first time.
Did you have to drink the jug of GoLytly (sp?) OY?
-frizz (anita aka saranita) sending healing vibes.
