Had My recertification for Ryan White today..
« on: March 09, 2023, 08:40:18 pm »

And was happy to find out that effective on January 2023, recertifications only need to be done once a year now. So my next recertification, is March of 2024.  :) I am really glad they made this once a year.

On other news,...about a month ago I had another anal Pap smear done. No cancerous or precancerous cells were detected.

However, My doctor recommended to me that I have a High resolution anoscopy done,so that is scheduled for March 3oth.

I know this subject matter has been brought up before, but I have to do 2 fleet enima's, prior to the procedure.

The first one would be around 8:00pm, and the second one will be done about 7 hours later at 3:00 in the morning. The appointment will be at at 7:00 AM.I guess they want me really cleaned out on this one.

Otherwise, hope everyone is well, things are going good this way !

Also forgot to mention, that on the 20th of March ( 10 days prior) I will have an EKG, and some labs done. This is required prior to the anoscopy.
