Dear Rod,
Thank you for your life’s work: raising awareness of colon cancer. Because of you, I listened when my doctor said it was time for a colonoscopy.
No one ever has good things to say about them. Certainly not Eddie, who complained his way through the fluid you have to drink before the procedure.
But it had to be done.

Add flavor packet. Fill with water. Drink all of it. Stay close to the bathroom.
But you know me: I like to enjoy myself.

I’m bougie.
It did not taste bad at all. It was like a weak lemon-lime Gatorade.
Anyway, it had the required result.
I went to see the doctor clean as a whistle. The nurse got me ready, said one thing to me, I felt tingly, then woke up back where I started.
Easy peasy.
I’m completely healthy and won’t have to go through the procedure for 10 more years.
But thanks to you, I know I’m good.
Miss you,
Beth
