    Didn't get an nsd yesterday as DH had to go for a colonoscopy to make sure the cancer hadn't come back. He was starving cos he hadn't eaten since 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon so we celebrated with a KFC which isn't included in my grocery budget. He's so worth it!
    Not sure about today yet.

    I hope that it all went smoothly.Do you have to wait long for the results?
