Flushed

It’s time for my next colonoscopy Oh, how I dread the cost to me. Must I drink all that stuff? Wouldn’t a pint be enough? I fear my insides may be lost to me.

Indeed. One never feels quite so mortal as when having a colonoscopy. My last one reminded me that it was time to remodel the bathroom. Thanks for your kind comment, Andrea. Hugs.

Jan, I couldn't be happier for you--getting the opportunity to write again with Darren Watson. Wonderful news! For multiple reasons you will never forget the day your interview aired. . . . Thank you for your thoughtful inquiry re. my health. I'm fine. It's gracious (and typical) of you to ask. Hugs, always.

Oh you are too kind with your praise Paul. I have many issues at the moment with dad's will and now I have to clear mum's house as it has hopefully been sold BUT the best thing to happen to me is to write with Darren Watson again as jadazzle united - after battling ill health for over a year we have finally written 2 poems together - hearing from him on the day my interview was aired ( the first time since October) was simply a dream come true - we are now in pretty regular contact and I can't stop smiling! :-) hugs Jan xx

I appreciate and value your comment, Jan. In fact, I appreciate and value anything you put into words. I hope all is well with you and your loved ones in the land where English is spoken and written with a touch of reverence.
