Colonoscopy 2.0 and skirts

I had the butt scope almost two years ago. It turned out to be a "PIECE OF CAKE". You drink the gallon of antifreeze the night before (about 8 ounces every 15 minutes until it is gone). Refrigerated antifreeze is better than room temperature antifreeze. Needless to say before you finish the gallon you are on the crapper. Everything comes out. You might as well put a TV by the toilet. Plan on being in there quite a bit. The Lego thing is probably a bad idea. The only thing I ever felt was the needle going in my arm for the "knock out drops". The only thing that I remember is laying on the table and the doctor saying "OK". I went out like a light. The next thing I remember was waking up in the recovery room. My wife said that I spoke to the doctor in the recovery room and asked a question. I have no memory of that at all. No pain and no memory of anything going in my ass, etc. Someone said that the anesthetic that they use helps erase any memory of the actual procedure; however, I don't really know if that is correct or not. I am sure that you don't want to be awake for the procedure.

And you still believe that all you had was the colonoscopy, right? :slappy:

Update:

Yay! An update! :P

So I had gut problems. And historical colon problems. Etc. Mom died of it. So did other family members. Etc. Finally went in for a colonoscopy. Etc. I was told I had a good (ha, "good") chance it was cancer. Blah blah.

I got no cancer. I ain't even got no polyps damn it.

I get a biopsy of some other issue on Thursday, but it isn't cancer so they say. Inflammation but something else. Also some kidney crap (damn beer!).

In the end - no cancer.

I was seriously pissed for a while there. Colon cancer is super curable. It isn't even a big deal if caught early-- and I am only 30. However, something about the fact that my mom died from it made it my evil nemesis that angered me to no end after they said there was a good chance that I had it. It was like some evil villain from my past came back to get me too. . .

But I don't have cancer.

And I didn't do the lego thing.

And for that I apologize.

End.

Whew, kinch. Glad - very glad - to hear that's a battle you don't have to wage - and I hope the other issues turn out to be very, very minor.

Lego man looks happy to be relieved of duty, right? Hmm. Actually, this was taken before he found out the trip was off... not sure what that means. :p

i just had the procedure done a few weeks ago. they gave me these giant horse pills instead of the juice to drink, which was far worse.

anyway, i didn't fall asleep during the procedure. i watched most of it on the TVmonitor. of course, being the fool that I am, I told the doctor as the scope was winding through my colon that this looks like something morgan freeman should be narrating. he liked it, but my wife was less than enthused by my comments.

Big no no. People say funny things when they get sedation.

I have a friend who is a GI fellow who complains about the people that aren't "cleaned out" properly. Let's just say that these people's procedures are a bit more time consuming.

On a lighter note, glad everything turned out ok kinch. :)

LOL! (for real)

That is wrong on so many levels.

Even if I were to have done the lego thing, that little guy looks way too ready for duty. . .

Colonoscopies are no joke, but
these comments during the exam
are quite humorous.


1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going
where no man has gone before!

2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

4 "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally
married."

5. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"

6. "You put your left hand in, you take your
left hand out..."

7. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."

9. "Could you write a note for my wife saying
that my head is not up there?"

And the best one of all..


10. "Now I know why I am not gay."
