Well, I had my colonoscopy today. Although I didn’t come through as shiny as I’d hoped, it certainly wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

No cancer (whew!)

No polyps (whew!)

Turns out I have a diverticular disease. I’ll get the details of how to treat it when I see the GP in a couple of weeks, but basically I think it’s going to mean eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies and a high fibre diet.

H’m. Where’ve I heard that before?

Is this the universe’s way of making me lose weight?

Funny how yesterday, when I was not allowed to eat because of the medication, I could. Why can’t I have such focus every day? Why can’t I break it all up into separate moments of understanding that controlling what I eat is best for me?

Just a short blog tonight. Still tired from the sedative, though I did nap all day.

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and comments.
