(((Wii)) Hugs!

That song used to do it for me too after ex left and while I still loved him. It's all just senseless that they threw it all away, threw us away, isn't it??? It's ok to cry sometimes. It's ok to grieve. If you don't - you keep it bottled up too long - and that's not healthy.

I wrote you a reply to your post about the upcoming colonoscopy exam last week but strangely - it never showed up. I was at the cottage so maybe it got eaten.

Anyway - be grateful you're having both tests done the same day. I went for my colonoscopy and they told me that day that I should have been booked for both but they didn't plan it that way so I had to go back (to Oakville) again 2 weeks later. I was NOT impressed to have to fast a 2nd time. And right at Christmas. But it's done now. I went to the Rudd clinic. It is the best around. They are pros. Never felt a thing. Though the day before is BRUTAL and to add to my discomfort - I had an employee quit on me that day in a nasty manner. Bad memories!

My dad called me all upset today. Seems he is booked for his first colonoscopy (at 83) on Tuesday. And the nurse told him he had to fast from Sun morning on. I told him she must have made a mistake especially since he is diabetic. I also know that myself and all my friends only fasted one day. To top it off - he has an ultrasound scheduled for Mon. So I called back immediately - they had left for the w/e. I called his GP's receptionist and she agreed with me - they must have made a mistake. It seems she was trying to book him for Mon which might be why she insisted he fast on Sunday but then made a mistake. So suffice to say - I have to call her Mon morning to cancel. UGH - all this when I have a son with a fever and the clinic we were told to take him to is not wheelchair friendly. Oh joy! Medical life in Ontario sucks!

Anyway, enough complaining. I really came here to offer some comfort. I guess I suck at that too.

But I do feel your pain and hope it passes quickly.
