that there were other posters with issues regarding medical procedures who might have words of wisdom for me. I'll definitely urge the alternative methods.
I guess the symbolic overtones of this one are obvious and it's no small wonder that I'm not feeling at all reasonable about it.
If they can convince me there is a good reason, I'll consider it. Maybe.
But I don't think they'll be able to convince me of that. Neither side of my family has had colon cancer, and there's always that occult blood test.
I've done my breathing and relaxation. And yes, I called my therapist's machine. I told him he didn't need to call me back, I just needed to touch base.
So I think I'm a bit more centered now. After all, they can't make me take that test. :)
