Hi Loving Ones,

I'm so sorry, I actually thought I wrote to this list, but obviously 
I did not, and for that I do humbly apologize.

We're doing pretty good.

Vernon is doing very well, though I know he's tired, but he's working 
very hard.

He has his bathroom issues, as well, and today is no exception.

I feel for him, because I still have problems in that area, as well.

You see both of us had radiation, so that is why we have bathroom issues
.

Because I was bleeding, we thought it was hemroids, but it is not.

I had my Colonoscopy last week.

On Wednesday, I did the prep in a hotel in Sioux Falls. It went pretty well.

Thank God for Depends. lol.

I had my Colonoscopy last Thursday morning.

It went pretty well, except for one thing.

First, the Praise report no cancer and no polips at all.

The thing that isn't so good, is that I had some bleeding in the 
rectom, which we new.

They cauterized those blood vessels, and wow that was horribley painful!

I woke up in a lot of pain. They asked me what my pain level was and 
I said a nine.

They had to give me Fentinyl for pain. They also gave me something 
for nauzia, which they were suppose to do, but did not.

I'm not bleeding now, but I'm still in a lot of pain especially when 
I go to the bathroom. It really hurts, and then it hurts for a real 
long time after that.

I'm really tired of the pain.

I refuse to take drugs for this, so I'm taking regular extra strength tylenol.

I pray that none of you ever have to go through this.

You know it hurts all through the lower half of my body.

If anyone has any good ideas to get releif, I would please appreciate knowing.

I'm a bit unhappy with my doctor as they should have told me that 
this could happen.

When I've told some people about the pain, they always say "Well I 
never had pain after a colonoscopy. And no if it would have just been 
the colonoscopy, there would not have been any pain, but they did the 
sig moid oscopy as well, and that really hurts, because they 
cauterized those blood vessels.

I'm ready for this pain to end real soon.

Thanks so much for praing for us.


Thanks much.

Much Love and Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
