Great news! I know when I had my colonoscopy the doc stated I needed to drink more! Told him I was basically on the throne for 24 hours and there was nothing left. Thankfully the next one was 10 years so my turn again in 5 years.

Great news! I know when I had my colonoscopy the doc stated I needed to drink more! Told him I was basically on the throne for 24 hours and there was nothing left. Thankfully the next one was 10 years so my turn again in 5 years.
Wife, and family friend, both had the colonoscopy this morning. Small polyps removed, and back home by lunch.
Is this a red letter day for rear scopes?

August 13, 2015 update.
Well, as most of you know I have a chronic cough that just won't go away. A CAT scan to try to find a reason for the cough showed a number of scary nodules here and there inside me. Since then I have been seeing a lot of doctors and they have been trying to determine if the nodules were major problems or not. Most of the news I have gotten up until today was either "good news" or "to be continued..."
Since the VA doesn't have all of the specialists here, it was either travel or see if the VA would pay a local doctor to test and diagnose. The VA did approve local doctors from Saint Mary's to check out the nodules on my thyroid and lung.
Last week the thyroid doctor, Doctor T, suggested an ultrasound guided biopsy and a CT scan of my sinuses with a follow-up appointment next week on 8/25/15.
Today was a lung doctor. Doctor P didn't have access to the CAT scan and had to get the VA to release it to him. I also got to do a whole bunch of uncomfortable lung tests. Doctor P was unable to find the nodules in the CAT scan. Based on their reported size, 6 MM and 8 MM, and my other statistics the 8 MM nodule would have put me at intermediate risk of lung cancer. My lung function, capacity, etc. all rated as outstanding. No sign at all that I was a chain smoker 31 years ago when I quit cold turkey. I left Doctor P's office with "to be continued..."
He referred the CAT scan to radiology at Saint Mary's for re-evaluation and promised to call when they were finished. This also calls into question the liver lesion.
Doctor P called Mrs. Brass with the good news while I was still at work. No lung nodules and no risk of lung cancer. He has referred the CAT scan back to the VA for re-evaluation.
I needed to call the VA radiology today and schedule the ultrasound guided biopsy and a CT scan of my sinuses for Doctor T. The suggested earliest appointment was the day after Doctor T's follow-up. I let it be known that would not work and now the ultrasound guided biopsy and a CT scan of my sinuses are scheduled for 8/20/15. The next thyroid appointment with Doctor T is 8/25/15.
Mrs. Brass and I are toasting the great news right now!
I also received a letter today with the EGD and colonoscopy results. EGD biopsy showed some chronic inflammation and the colonoscopy was absolutely clean.

Wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news and waiting for more! Praying that the thyroid scan is negative as well. Sinus problems are workable, nodules may mean surgery but it is not serious.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Wonderful! to hear Ron, I am still praying.
Good News indeed, celebrate like it's 1999!

I'd say good news and it is time to celebrate and also to be thankful for the good reports thus far. Thank you Lord for your at work in this scary situation.

Brass I have not been as diligent as I should have been because of my recent house fiasco. I read through the six pages to get caught up and I am very happy that the news you received is good news. I did say a prayer about page three and wondered what in the world I would do if I did not see you snatching up things on S & S like usual, but then I realized that you have not been snatching up stuff.

I am trying very hard to slow down in S&S. It's just so hard to pass up great deals!
Answered prayer I'd say.
