Well today I did what I tell everyone else to do -- had a colonoscopy for my 50th birthday! Yes indeed, I have been saying it for years and today was the day for me to walk my talk! The worst part was the bowel preparation.
I love to eat, so clear fluids is not appealing to me. I kept busy yesterday. Went to yoga, hairdresser and had a pedicure and then it was time for my first dose of that awful stuff. My system is a little slow to work so when I got to my appointment today everything had not worked the way it needed to..so off I went to drink more of the nasty stuff untill it kicked in...and boy did it kick in...here is where I avoid TMI on my BLOG!!
Well I watched the whole thing on the TV screen in my drug indiced sleepiness and it was over in no time. In case you are wondering what the heck it is, the pricture here shows that flexible tube that goes all the way from your rectum to the cecum and has a light and a camera and an opening so it can take samples of any polyps, burn the polys and take photos along the way. I came away with full color photos!!
Thanks to the staff for the patience with me and my slow system and to my husband for spending the day driving me and waiting for me. Love calls us in so many ways!!
So don't forget to have your colonoscopy experience in your 50th year (or before if indicated)
of that awful stuff. My system is a little slow to work so when I got to my appointment today everything had not worked the way it needed to..so off I went to drink more of the nasty stuff untill it kicked in...and boy did it kick in...here is where I avoid TMI on my BLOG!!
