Tonight and tomorrow till 2 pm. (PSTime) --several times--you should think
"I'm sure glad i'm not Patio!!"
Then you should consider what i'm going thru and you'll be really glad you're not me!
At 1:30 i'm having a colonoscopy done at the hospital. Till then i'm doing the 'prep,' which i'll save you the details, but it ain't fun nor comfortable!
But after 2, you will have to find another cause for cheer!
Best to all, Pat

I had that procedure done a couple of years ago. Call me crazy but I didn't hate it all that much. The 'prep' I found to be very cleansing. And the drugs they gave during the procedure were great. I was in la-la land. I asked them if I could take the i.v. home.:) And I got a clean bill of health.

LOL Expat, leave it to a guy! Thanks LDH--it's amazing how many 'butt' jokes there are!
Shimmer, You're so right. Once they give you the sedation, it's nothing. Unfortunately the prep makes me pretty sick, but this time i'm using a brand new product called Visicol--pills. I've got my fingers crossed!
Thanks for the well-wishing! Pat

Yeah - but they give you a BEAUTIFUL cocktail of Demerol and Morphine beforehand (the reason you have to have someone take you home afterward). My fiancee has had 2 colonoscopy procedures, and, after finding one tiny non-cancerous polyp, she has been given a clean bill of health. Cheers!

Here they've given me Versed and Demarol. It's verrrry effective. I'm glad your fiancee had a clean bill of health. I had cancer 3 years ago and this is a follow-up. But it's expected to be just a precaution! I feel great!

Excuse my ignorance, but is that anything like Jackass and Father Christmas that I saw on Sky last week with some tubes up his posteriour, regurgitating and recycling your body waste for more than its worth, is that the one, I am thinking of the correct procedure?
It looked bloomin ruddy ummmmmmm hahhahahhhaahahhhahahhahahhahhahahahhahahahhahahaha oh my, is that the one, well, his face looked bliss at one point. I'm sure its worth waiting for.
No ones sticking no tube up my ass thats for sure!!
Yeah the "prep" thing is quite disturbing... especially when nothing but clear water eventually starts coming out.
When they "hook you up", they will turn on an air pump and inflate you so they can snake around in there. Now that hurts! Both times I did not get any drugs for it. Ladies, I can truly say that I know what cramps are like!
The fun part is when they "un-hook" you... you will make the biggest fart you ever made! Just puuuush and have fun with it! The Doctor will understand.
