Colonoscopy

[SuzE-Q]

It's just left side down and bent slightly forward. I watch the whole thing w the light sedation. Very interesting. I don't mind it and I like my woman doctor.

I just hate that salty poop juice they have you drink the day before. And then offer bouillon as a choice to replace a meal!

Oh, and I remember that I keep on drinking coffee w fat free milk. My neurons demand it.
ANN

Yes, I remember watching mine too, it was an interesting, comfortable experience. I had no issues with it at all, that much I do remember from so long ago. I don't recall any sedation then either.

That's why I thought I'd go for the sig rather than a full colonoscopy when I read chatter of it possibly being just as good if you have no risk factors.

Being on my side wasn't uncomfortable. Now that jackknife though, that looks like a whole other story!

You are kind of in a jack knife position but on your left side w pillows for support.

On my second day here ofonly clear liquids, man I would kill for some food! Two more hours until starting to drink half gallon of the drano every ten minutes,

Then have to wake up and drink the other half gallon of the drano every ten minutes,

I wonder if this ever kills anyone?!

I guess I am grateful to be abl

[stillstANNding]

I am thinking of you, BBS. Good luck tomorrow!

Ann, are you saying you had a sigmoid. or a colonoscopy?

SuzeQ, love your cartoon!

[stillstANNding]

Colonoscopy because Dad had colon cancer. They found a polyp so I had another in 3 years that did not show polyp(s). Now I am on the every 5 year plan. I don't get gradusted to every 10 ever.

The day after it's a great feeling. Test was negative (presuming) and you can eat!

Oh, I thought you were talking about a sig too, ANN.

Glad you clarified.

Hope it goes well, BBS!

[Virginia]

Good Luck BBS, the worse should be about over!

[Sunshine]

As the dentists say, "almost done"! One more hour of drano drinking.

[Sunshine]

Whew! Done! Only one polyp. Uneventful procedure. Capable andefficient staff.

Since I woke up from the anesthesia, Propofol, I have no pain or neuropathy in my legs. None! Wouldn't it be nice if it continues?! Have you had this experience post anesthesia? Totally unexpected. What might it mean?

[Virginia]

Probably that the muscles and nerves have not woke up yet!

[stillstANNding]

Glad it's over. Now you are in the 3 year club, yes?

ANN

[Sunshine]

Unsure. Doc will call with lab results next week.

[agate]

We'll keep our collective fingers crossed. I'm sure you're glad it's over, and why aren't there special medals for people after they've been through a colonoscopy?

I'd be a quivering mass of jelly before I even opened up the Golightly or whatever that drano stuff is called.

One problem with lots of explosive bowel activity is that you usually have a massive cleanup, and that's exactly when I'm feeling too weak and trembly to feel up to the task.
