    Questions about my first Colon Screening

    It took awhile for the mixture to kick in but when it did, perched like a crawfish before boiling.:) He removed a few pods with a device that looped around the pod and then he just kinda pinched it off. No pain at all.

    First checkout/endorsement lesson on my plane
