PSA

Dang, I had a pre-cancerous polyp.  It's out for biopsy, but doc said BIG + FLAT = pre-cancerous.  He said it would've developed into colon cancer if left.

Screening is a must.

Because of the size, I have a metal clip to prevent bleeding.  Low activity for a couple of days and no heavy lifting.

Never ever would have expected it.  Super duper GRATEFUL (!!)

I'm now on a 3 year rotation.  I'm seriously dumbfounded I had any polyp, let alone this kind.  Goes to show you never know.  

P.S.  The procedure was a breeze.  Apparently, I woke up strangely saying I was driving and I kept trying to sit up.  I remember dreaming about driving.  Wild to be awake one minute and then it's over.  This was my first anesthesia experience aside from c-section blocks.  

Off to Asheville tomorrow -- hubby, dogs and 7 potted plants LOL.  My bottom is SORE.  Hope the ride with 2 dogs on my lap goes smoothly.

Let the BIRTHDAY FUN continue :)
