All Is Clear

So I had my procedure done this week. A lovely colonoscopy. What a challenge that was! I guess, like everyone says, the worst part of the whole thing was the drink. After that was finished, it was a breeze. I remember laying in the bed at the surgery room and thinking, there is no way they can knock me out that fast... and then I was waking up. The next thing I remembered was the doctor coming in telling me everything looked great. They found a polyp and removed it. Some how, and it still boggles my mind, I have skin tags up there and that is what has been making me so uncomfortable the past 3 months. So I am on medication right now and feel great. A little gassy, but great! I am looking forward to getting back to my eating habits and working out again. :)

Goodbye Social Media

Life without Facebook. Could you do it? I am challenging myself to do such a crazy thing. Lately, I have felt so "involved" in other people's lives, that it has taken it's toll on me. I am pretty sure I checked my Facebook a good 10 times a day. And for what? To read everyone's status', to see their pictures, to see who is doing what and with who. I am turning over a new leaf. Finding more for me to do. I can't spend all that time looking thru stuff that doesn't really matter to me. I have the phone numbers and emails I need to keep in touch with the people I love.

To be honest, Facebook made me think I didn't have everything I wanted. I think it is a slippery slope to be on a website and start thinking that you need more than what you have. For instance, you might think it is an innocent message or innocent looksie at someone's page. But why are you really reaching out and doing it? What is it about curiosity that gets us every time? I have decided to get away from that. To still keep in touch with the people I care about, and forget the one's that I don't care about and that really don't care about me.

I love my life and I love how it is. I refuse to let doubt get involved. I am bigger and better than all that. Let's see how long I can do this!!! My goal... to be off Facebook as long as I possibly can :)

Here Goes Nothing...Or Is It Something?

So, some of you know, I have been having "issues" for sometime now with a lot of stuff and my body. Not to get too graphic, but for the majority of my life... eating out at a restaurant was a stressful nightmare. I knew, no matter what I ordered, I would have a time limit on when I would have to be home... in the bathroom. However, when I stopped eating processed foods, I became much healthier and... what appeared to be in a normal state.
Which brings me to my next topic. I am sure I am fine and healthy. But there is something that keeps telling me... you need to see a doctor. I have been noticing things aren't right and they aren't getting better. In fact, they are getting worse. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy in about a week. Nervous? Not really... I guess the only thing I am a bit concerned about is the liquid I have to drink before the procedure. My grandfather has been diagnosed, and beat, colon cancer several times. Which, kinda just puts me at a higher risk for things.
Anyways, I will keep you all posted on how THAT goes. I am sure I will have funny things to tell you about what happens, what I might say or do, and what they have found. All I can ask for is to find answers and a solution to this.
