Comes with the territory. I've been pretty lucky, so far. Being poor means doctors don't have much need for me. I have no advice to offer but good luck.
Since you're in NE Iowa, are you going to Rochester?
ergo, bibamus.

Sounds like you’re starting to make it a habit to go. You’re looking for a reason to go and you don’t even realize it.
Cold as ice!

Modern medicine is pretty amazing Coonman-especially if you dont let it go and they find stuff early-a lot is cureable.
Lots of treatment for chronic stuff too,and a lot of surgeries to replace wore out joints and plugged arteries is routine mtc nowadays.
Hang in there coonman and trust your doctors advice.

Since last June I don't think a single week has gone by that I did not have some sort of a doctors appointment. It seems I have an appointment or two every week. I have managed to stay away from being in the hospital and ER since early January. The appointments seem endless, I even had a Visiting Nurse 3 times a week for 6 or 7 weeks, I am thankful that is over. I had to cancel an appointment next week so I could attend the Pennsylvania Trapper's Rendezvous. I am thankful I am still above ground so I guess it is worth it.
I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

In the past 5 years I've been to the ER about 10 times, had 2 surgeries (Gall bladder out and lung collapse). Diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus too. A lot of my family died of cancer so I imagine one day I'll get it somewhere in me. I try not to think about it because unless they catch it real early you're basically screwed. Regular screening is the key. I get a once a year CT scan of my lungs (I quit smoking 28 years ago but now have COPD. Getting old sucks.

Been to the doctor more times since the year started than in the 10 previous years I think.
Not to complain as I have already lived longer than 90% or more of the males in my family tree.
Right now my biggest Demon is Vertigo.
No answers for it yet and many therapy sessions.
I'm seeking relief daily.
Keep on kicking Coonman220.
My goal is to be still kicking when they try to put me under.
At 70 and beyond I truly believe the saying.
Use it or Lose it.
Sometimes it's not easy but don't just give it away.
Best of luck on your continuing health !

With my bladder cancer, the only symptom I had was blood in my urine. Cystoscopy is not fun. Not painful but is uncomfortable. Good thing is they don't last very long. Good luck Dave. Hope no cancer, u think u be sick, have not seen blood in urine, but blood spots in morning on clothes an only place it could be come from. They say use numbing jel with scope, not look forward to it or results

Make sure the techs clean the scoping equipment between your colonoscopy & your upper endoscopy or the procedure will leave a bad taste in your mouth !!!

Dave, I think it's fairly common for people to have some level of anxiety when it comes to some medical procedures. Especially when it may be a procedure you haven't had before. Don't be afraid to mention to your doctor or nurses that you are having some anxiety about your procedure. They will be able to give you something to help calm your nerves. Stay positive, and things will be fine.
