I refuse to weigh on my home scale, so I don't really know how I'm doing on the weight. I had to have a colonoscopy in February, and even after being on a liquid diet, and then taking that uber-laxative type stuff to completely clean me out before the procedure, my scales showed me having a weight GAIN!!!!!! of 9 pounds, so I've decided that my scale is just messed up. RE: the procedure, I had 4 or 5 polyps that, while beign, are the type that do become cancerous. All that means is that I have to have this procedure again in a couple of years. The doctor was mainly concerned because apparently it is rare for these polyps to show up in someone my age (Yay! I'm still too young for some things!)
I have yet to take the iron tabs on the schedule I'm supposed to for more than 2 days in a row. The whole no drinking coffee or tea or eating dairy, eggs, whole grain bread, or cereal until one hour after or up to two hours before taking the med is just hard to work with, for me, anyway. Besides, since the rectal bleeding was for 'rhoids, and not from anything further up, it was decided that the anemia was related to my periods. That hasn't happened since January (until this last week), so voila! in my professional opinion, I'm no longer anemiac. (That's right, I said in my professional opinion. My professional opinion as a medical BILLER, not technician. :D)
Tummy - I agree, I thought the identity of Kisten's killer was a let down. Almost a total non-event.

I'm glad to see an update and that the colonoscopy will clear up a couple of things so you don't have to worry about them later.
Yay for the update. I would have been worried more had I not seen you in other places.
Good news on the colonoscopy.
I'm glad you are zeroing in on a source for your medical concerns!
Bad polyps are the flat ones, right? I had one of those nipped off about a year & a half ago. Of course, I'm old lol.
It's always a pain when med schedules wind up disrupting your life. It looks so reasonable on paper but IRL just shifts & changes all sorts of other things & is a real nuisance.
Just think about all these little things that should get better when you reach your goal-like hemmroids!
Thank goodness for an update. Although a benign update it is *grin.
From one coder to another - get a SECOND opinion!
Onto Kisten - I got the feeling she was going to throw someone under the bus and then chickened out and gave us Lame Non-entity person as the killer.
Gosh, what a lot to deal with. I have seen you a couple times at the other place lately, which was nice.
Thank-you for mentioning Gena Showalter to me over there. I hadn't heard of her, but now I've read a couple of her books. They'll keep me busy until the next Katie MacAlister book comes out.
