I don’t like to leave the house…
My gastroenterologist, very nice man, kinda just happened to mention at my last visit something about a redundant colon as if I knew I had one…I’ve had three colonoscopies, and I’m finding this out in my fifties? Maybe because he thought I certainly knew.
It was the news! There is something wrong. I was giddy.
At least I’m not a hypochondriac or this is some kind of psychosomatic problem.

I knew I wasn’t the only person on the planet with this!!’ I
Am sorry you are going through this as well.

You aren’t even able to leave the house? I’m sorry!!
It was my second colonoscopy and I’m in my 60’s. Had not heard this previously either. I believe I know what caused it, so am very careful to not allow it to happen again, theoretically making it even worse.
So, it appears, this is how the rest of our lives will be?!
