YAY and Double YAY

 


The surgeon said I do not need surgery. The 1997 horrible surgery that my doctor thought had loosened is not the problem. He said he thinks a colonoscopy will fix the problem, the problems I am having are called fecal smearing. (poopy diapers)
and he believes it is caused by chronic constipation, which might also be the cause of my IBS symptoms, and he believes that will eliminate the problem, and he also said since I have never had one, their might be a polyp blocking the colon.
He said you don't have to have anything done, it is your choice, if you want to keep being miserable. It's not going to kill you if we do nothing.
Wow! 
The pain is from poop pants and can be treated with Baby Butt Desitin.
All donations of Desitin appreciated, its 8 dollars for 2 oz, which was used in one week and at Amazon  4 oz for 9 dollars.😁😁😁😁
For those of you thinking WHY has she never had a colonoscopy, its because I can't hold the poop and there is a lot of pooping going on before having one and I don't want to have to clean up the mess.
They will call me with a time for the colostomy and a endoscopy because my gerd has been acting up with meds, and he can do both at same time
Thank you for your
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 

What your prayers did. My fears of the surgery were overshadowed by
Fear of Traffic, the office is next to the hospital, both are in
DOWNTOWN, my dread of going there is a 10 on the Fear Scale.
They are on the 5 lane highway to the BEACHES. 
See that photo up above? that is what I had to get out onto when leaving the Doctor office. there is a reason I mention this.
Your prayers opens the roads from the time I left home, I backed out of my driveway at rush hour and there was not a car coming. I drove all the way there and all the way home with very limited traffic. It was thought the road had been wiped clean of cars.
The road in that photo, when I pulled out of doc office, on to the one way 5 lanes, there were cars headed east to that light and not a car in sight in all 5 lanes. I pulled out, drove 4 blocks to the light and when I stopped all the lane behind me had filled up. I drove like that the whole way home.
I can tell you what the prayers did not do, they did not stop my BP from being way high because I suffer white coat syndrome with male doctors, and this was 2 of them, Doc and Intern. It may have worked because I did not have a stroke from having them do the exam
Thank you to all who lifted me up for help from above and Thank you Lord for the safe trip and good news..

And a Triple YAY from Coosada! Thank you for the detail -- I truly believe we learn more from one another than (sometimes) in the doctor's office or online.
Those breaks in traffic I think qualify as a Christmas miracle. Only yesterday while driving in Montgomery, I marveled at what a coward I've become behind the wheel -- every 18-wheeler an enemy.
Prayers answered all around, and will continue!

Sorry about the fears. But so glad the traffic gave you breaks. You did great and now you don't have to worry about surgery. Which is good, because anesthesia at our age is not a good thing.

Great news! You might recall I went through a colonoscopy last winter, the preparations were a bit of an ordeal but if it fixes your problems I think you'll find it worth while :) ♥

I really believe this was a miracle!!! For almost no traffic at rush hour...unheard of!!! and such wonderful news!!! It could not be any better! I am so very glad, I have been so worried about you! I have used Desitin for many years, for recurrent yeast infections. As a preventative, I have to use it in several places after every shower. Also Gold Bond powder. Hurrah for it all!!!!!
