A colonoscopy is a whole thing. I recount my fourth colonoscopy, the brutal prep of no fibre and laxatives, opting for colonoscopy without sedation, and a slow recovery after earlier surgery. The result was no evidence of active Crohn's after 23 years, with a chance of stopping meds. Also band practice and a Surbiton gig.
Rolly's Take
For the one who navigates the uncertain waters of chronic illness with a mix of humor and vulnerability. They find solace in the mundane rituals of recovery, honoring both the struggle and the small victories along the way. Here, the beauty lies in the raw honesty of the journey — a testament to resilience and the power of connection, whether through shared experiences or the warmth of a band practice.
