Well, if I can offer you any tips on what to expect from the colonoscopy...I've had more than I care to remember.
Also, heaven forbid, if your diagnosis turns out to be Ulcerative Colitis, I know a whole lot about that, too. And I'm living proof that it can be overcome.
I got sick at 22 and each relapse coincided with major life stressors.
I agree that you need to find alternative care for our parents ASAP. I know how it feels to be ill, maybe in danger and feel you might not be able to turn to the one person you thought would always be there for you.
CJ dropped bomb #1 three weeks after I had kidney surgery (I was barely getting around). Then In Dec (Bomb#2) he was ready to fly off when I was waiting on CT results which confirmed the return of my kidney problem.
The thought of having to be ill, perhaps have surgery, without him was terrifying. But duty won through when I asked him to stay until this newest crisis was over...he agreed, and well as it's dragged on, he's still here....although a lot of other things have happened so I'm pretty sure that's not the only reason.
Time to go to bed, I'm rambling.
Prayers to you J, seriously, if you have any questions...I'm your gal.
