I was recently graduated from nursing skool when I was admitted to the hospital for kidney stones. My poor nurse was a study buddy. A beautiful girl young enough to be my daughter.I'm due in another 3-5 years. One of the nurses when I was done the last time is a walking buddy (her and her husband), but she retired in January, so now I'm going to have to flash strangers.
I'm not sure which of us were more horrified with the shots for pain!
I'm one of the lucky ones: I get to do the poop in a jar and send it to the lab for analysis. I'm on Coumadin, and my doctor says the scope is a little bit dangerous for me.
I've done it twice now, just sent one in last month. I believe I'm on the every 5 years deal.
