I'm so happy that your blood pressure has gone down since you started taking the new medication!
I will be glad when you get in to see the GI and get something for your stomach pain and constipation (lactulose is good for that)
It's great that you are open to having a colonoscopy done, especially since you suffer with significant constipation. Colon cancer doesn't always cause bleeding, and when there is blood in the stool, it usually is not visible.
What a sad story about your friend, but she sounds like a very strong lady! I hope that you enjoy your time out together.
I hope that you like your new cellphone!
