Just home and showered after a walk with n3. I think I might be going through some empty nest stuff. I feel lonely without n3 here. And I hate being alone after a while. That's when my thoughts get whirling out of control. I read all posts and it seems as if the thread is balanced- the people all supporting each other and no horribleness. I guess I'm just feeling better after having lunch with my friend.

So I have this appointment on the 29th. Its for a sigmoidoscopy because of the rectal bleeding I was having. My mom keeps trying to talk me out of having it: she keeps saying I should call my primary doctor and ask if its really necessary! If it weren't "really necessary" I think my primary doctor would call me herself to tell me to cancel. What do you all think? I feel like my mother doesn't want to be bothered with taking me there and home and with staying there in the waiting area for 3 to 4 hours. But there is absolutely no getting around it- I MUST have a driver for both ways who can stay and wait for me. That's what I think my mother is worried about. Totally selfish! And she had the gaul to say that I "just like having procedures"! Last time I had a procedure it was a liver biopsy and the time before that it was a colonoscopy. Those, it seems, she deems necessary and therefore didn't have a problem taking me.
