No and if you would like some good reasons why, please send me a private message. I lost a loved one who had a botched colonoscopy.

Would you be able to just take the simple test instead of the actual procedure?
 
They can mess up and pierce an intestine and you can end up with sepsis and if you survive that, you will end up with a colostomy. Then you can end up with another doctor who says you didn't need the colostomy to begin with and try to rehook you back up and you will die. It happens.

Why wouldn't the doctor recommend the simple, non-invasive test?
 
I will IF they put me to sleep. I had a minor one years ago and it felt like they were shoving a knife up there.

Unsigned - Why don't you get a colonoscopy?
Answering out of order...apologies all.
Because I believe the risk of the procedure outweighs the benefit.
Ben Franklin never had a colonoscopy and he lived to 84.

I'm glad you brought this up. Unless you have a lot of risk because of others in your family or ancestry, it truly is something to think about. You can search for a non-invasive test that's been available for several years now. If I could remember what it's called, I would tell you. And as a disclaimer, I'm not a doctor. I barely know how to spell the word. 😂
 
Yes. I used to be able to jump, grab, and climb a ten foot wall. I can still climb a six foot wall. But, it's a bit of a struggle. However, I think most people can't even do that. Ha! Ha!

Have you ever cleaned a pool?
 
I remember tossing coins in a few fountains, but the last time I remember doing it was in Las Vegas and that was several years ago. I can't remember if my wishes came true though.

Have you ever played the old age card if you have done something silly and someone notices? 😂 I've watched people do it and it seems to work.
