This procedure is a necessary evil of aging. As a result of Lavoy's colonoscopy, we discovered that our children will need to have one completed when they are 40 rather than wait until 50 and that they should have one every 5 years rather than every 10. The doctor didn't find anything earth shattering during Lavoy's procedure but there were some biological tendencies that could be inherited by our children. What is that quote? "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure." Prevention IS the best medicine.
I know my day is rapidly approaching as I creep up on 50. I will follow Lavoy's example and go through the procedure with ALL of God's grace, an ounce of humility and a pound of humor.

I highly recommend it. I haven't slept that well in a long time, and I'm clean as a whistle! In all seriousness, after losing a grandfather to colon cancer, having a colonoscopy is a small price to pay to keep safe from that horrible fate.
