I had some blood work done and there were a few issues. I've been on Testosterone gel, but my level is still too low. So if my insurance covers it I'll get a shot too ($540 if not covered). A bit anemic and borderline diabetic. The big issue is my body is blow on blood. About 2 pints low. So there might be a leak somewhere, stomach, intestines, etc. I have to go get an upper GI and talk to a stomach doctor about getting an "alien anal probe". I really do not want a colonoscopy. The prep for it is what I really do not want to go through. Drinking the "clear out" juice. I'd almost think I'd need to overnight it at the hospital. If I try taking it at home, just getting to the appointment could be messy. I don't see how it can be done. Have any of you had a colonoscopy since your injury? G. I have & spent the day & night in the hospital. If I EVER do it again I plan to stay home, get a good book & sit on the toilet for a couple hours. Dianna
