I loathe colonscopies, go-lightly and the recovery, but strangley, every year my body fights back, I fight through the nightmare and come out the other end stronger.
True I don't spend my share of time here, so I can't say I know Gail personaly, but is she is on this forum then she is family.
If I was going to write a book, I would call it "Crohn's Warriors" and I would take all of our individual stories and put them all in one big tell alll book, exposing the disease, getting it more attention, exposing the medical system and on and on.....
Because with everything we put up with we are warrior's, survivors, our bodies want to live.
I am with you eveyr minute Gail and all the rest of you, you are never alone.
So when the anathesiologist (and I hope you have one) drops the mask, think of us....
Say our names, My name is Jon and I am your friend. I walk in your footsteps and I know you will perservere.
Oh and yeah, I know it still sucks, perserveranve can be a ***** eh :)
