Getting A Colonoscopy Tomorrow
 

Will report back all the exciting details....Just started to take the stuff for the night before. I hear I will be sh.itting my brains out all night. Not too thrilled. Any advice or happy experiences? Hope the doc doesn't find me cute when I'm passed out.

and to think, I was going to send you a nice private note wishing you luck:rolleyes:

I'm touched that you remembered. Such a sweet girl...Yeah I thought I'd go public with it. I'm the ultimate nothing to hide guy. Why not bring a tender subject into the open, like Katie Couric when she did hers on national TV.

it's really too bad that you are not having it on saturday...then you could call in to 'derby trail live' and give us a full play by play...come to think of it...you could anyway!

I really should call in about it....I mean, its just DT ers there anyway....We'll see how it goes. I am more fearful of tonight and the IV(not HIV paisq--lol---inside joke) they put in. I'm such a baby with that stuff.

Just remember if the doctor has both hands on your shoulders it's not his hand up your arse it's something else.

oh no, ya poor bastard!:D

i had one a few years ago--lucky you, MY doc had me drinking that garbage from lunchtime saturday thru sunday, rather than just the one day. oh, fleet! you nasty tasting crap you!!

i slept thru the whole goings on that monday morning. puked after waking up and drinking some sprite. laid around a bit that morning, and then was fine. no biggie.

can't wait for the next one-many years from now i hope.

lol!!!!:eek:

guy i work with said the last thing he remembered before passing out was the nurse standing there with apron on, hose in hand. i cracked up when he told me that, i asked if she had a big scrub brush in the other hand? tale of sweeney todd redux or something!!

i was more bothered about the co-pay than anything!!! you'll be fine rand.

Thank you for the kind words. I am a trooper.

-What's the word, doc?

"You're ok. Just try and cut back on the cornholing."

if ya wanna clean out yur system pop in a rub of copenhagen:eek:

best of luck and wishes, hope all goes well

well, good luck. should have put that in there above....hope everything comes out ok.


no pun intended of course....

it's a long story why i had one....i'll sum up! lol

i got typhoid years ago-yep, that's right-typhoid. made the medical journal-first case in the u.s. in fifty years or so the doc said.

anyway, we thought i had appendicitis-all the pain was concentrated in that area, next day had surgery, appendix was just fine. a bit of exploring, internal bleeding yada yada--did a biopsy, typhoid! private room baby, yeah! lol
anyway, all those years ago when he was poking around, he said he found a polyp--so doc recommended i get a scope every ten years. hehe--that was about 25 years ago- i was 13 or 14. so about four years ago i finally had one. clean bill of health, thank goodness.

seriously randall, good luck. and yeah, iv's are the worst. and that time i was in there, they took the iv out--and then came back in and said they weren't supposed to take it out yet, and had to PUT IT BACK IN!! curses.

Good luck on the results. the rest was too much info so I took it down on the advice of ............

A wonderful experience for me. Nothing like a good cleansing for a clean view.

I opted to watch the whole thing on TV. Very interesting. Watch it around those curves Randall, thats where it hurts the most. I did some flinching as the camera rounded the corners.

This is a great experience for one's ego. You will have none left, they keep it at the office. Good luck, Im sure you will be fine.

This also leads me to a completely new line of thought. After taking this sort of probing, I really dont understand how anyone could actually enjoy having anything stuck up that particular orifice... its completely beyond me, but to each his/her own.

My dad just had one yesterday. UGH. Good luck, Randall...

It is not at all like pooping. It will flow out like a murky river my friend. And when the river turns clear, you know you are ready for the camera.

No way, they are knocking me out for this thing. I'm not watching anything!!....Started taking the crap at 5pm, I've been pretty bathroom bound since 7 or 8 but ducked out to meet with my supporters.
