Making up and cleaning up the mess

Well, I got through the test and after a few days I am just about feeling back to normal. I did not like that doctor one bit. The whole thing isn't supposed to be that painful! I'm using another doctor next time. As for my friend Fortune, we made up. As I suspected, she was never in the hospital; instead she was having a personal crisis with her son. My father is going to be harder to reconcile with. He knew I was desperate for someone to accompany me to the doctor's for the colonoscopy; the medical team reserves the right not to do the test unless you arrive with some one to take you home. I begged him to come with me; he knows all this, that I was alone, and still he refused to help me. What's worse is he doesn't think he did someone wrong. He feels I was wrong to be so angry with him. I just hope you guys don't have my experience. If the shoe had been on the other foot and I had refused to take him for the test he would have killed me--and he would have been right. (Thank God the doctor took me for the test even though I was there alone.) Anyway, on a brighter note, I am going to see Liza Minnelli in concert with Ben Vereen tonight at Westbury Music Fair on Long Island (NY)! I am so excited. She is talented but not as much as her mom was. Well guys, that's it for now; please take care and get tested for anything you might need to be tested for--it's painful but the peace of mind and prevention is highly worth it!
