That's that I want to know too. WTF David? You OK? I heard colonscopy's are a breeze just make sure the Dr. doesn't have his hands on your shoulders while he is doing it.


PS. If you need a few pints, I'll give you all I can. You may wake up with the munchies but you will be OK.

Thanks so much you guys.....I'm just freakin' out a little right now...like you Perry, my mom's been going through this lately...damn genetics? Can't be.

The colonoscopy would be SOP to try and determine where you might be losing the blood from. Quick and nasty question, after taking a dump are you seeing blood?


Scary chit bro. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Thank you for this Ritchie...what's SOP? And yeah...
