I can tell many of those
stories, myself, and I have, at times, in these posts.
Today, I think I finally
did it without a major "thump on the head" from the Father.
I have been saying for
months and months, that I need to schedule a colonscopy. For most folks, that's
not a top priority. For me, with my near-death experience with colon cancer in
'99, it's a necessity. Polyps that are per-cancerous can be removed safely
during the procedure. It takes them from 3-5 years to become cancerous. Last
year, '14, I should have had one done. I opted for my cataract surgery first.
That was in December and January.
Then, in January, I held
off until our monthly newsletter (my responsibility) in the mobile home park
took its July/August break.
Here is it almost the
end of July. So on Monday, I decided to book my regular checkup and blood test
(which should have been in January) and also ask for the referral for the
colonscopy.
It is now Wednesday.
This morning I woke up with strong remnants of a dream. Rarely do I have such
strong pieces of a dream remaining. In this one, I was having major medical
issues I won't get into here.
THUMP!
Ok, says me, I'll call
this morning.
The first call I made
was for the regular checkup and blood test. I went round and round with the
appointment people. It became very confusing and normally this is a two-minute,
at most, call. I finally hung up.
THUMP!
My Senior Dimensions
coverage allows me to make some requests online. I finally went online and
asked for the colonscopy referral. Usually, it takes 48 hours for a reply.
One hour later, I get a
call - the referral is in. I call Friday or Monday for the consult appointment
and will then get my procedure scheduled.
Dear Father, forgive me
for dragging my heels so long on this one. Thank you for several hints this
morning and for easy scheduling on the steps you wish me to take first. The rest
will come in turn. I hope that this time, I got the message early enough to
avoid complications. Thank you for your patience with this dim-witted human
child of yours!
