O/T Question about colon-os-ca-py

So don't worry about it. You'll probably find you've had more discomfort scraping your knuckles or bashing a thumb, which you've done many times, working on your tractors.

Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving! David

I get this done annually now just to be sure. Get the Fleet Phospho Soda (2 of them) and some Dulcolax laxitives (overnight). Both can be had at local pharmacy. Doc asked me if I wanted to watch, twilight or lights out.

I told him I did not even want to know he had been there. Same story for past 5 yrs. now and I am clean. They have found polyps on my Sis.

Like I told others of the family it because of the family lineage His aka Dad (me), Hers aka Mom(my brother) and theirs (the two of them) (Sis and baby brother).

Second time , about a year ago she had to take a small amount of lxative but none of the nasty stuff. She had to drink only clear juice for 24 hrs. If I were you, I wold ask about the clear juice method. Just my thoughts. Have fun.

The exam itself is easy and painless. And the exams DO save lives! I have several friends and relatives who�ve had problems detected early and eliminated of as a result of colonoscopies.

don't skimp on the cleanser, when I had my test 2 people skimped and the doc couldn't see to do the test, they had to re-schedule

old-time cleanser is real salty stuff in bottle, neither flavor tastes good, just a different super salty taste

wife got Rx for some cleansing powder, tasted fairly good compared to the salt, worked a lot gentler but still cleaned like that old white tornado

The colonoscopy is not painful but I HATED the taste of the two Fleets laxatives the day before YUKKKKK KKKKK KKK GAG a MAGGOT ewwwww wwwww lol and youre pretty well on the poddy the whole night before

My neighbor took some sort of laxative pills instead of that nastyyyyy yyyyy Fleets by mouth but the wife nursie said it wasnt as good as the Fleets liquid I had to drink YUKKKKK KKKKK

But its definitely worth it for early colon cancer detection sooooo oo u gotta bite the bullitt n just go do it. A buddy never had one and they found colon cancer which had spread to his liver n told him had the had a colonoscopy earlier they coukld have found it n only had to cut a lil out and he likely would have been fineeeee

Youre a big boy Old, go get er done

On the positive side, many lives have been saved by the early detection of colon cancer and related problems.

Here is a link to what happens during the procedure.
Never had the pleasure, so I don't envy you.

• Colonoscopy

You get to go to the hospital and you just know that you'll crap yourself before you get there but ...you don't. You get into the area and they get you to take your clothes off and then they insert a IV into the back of your hand. They then wheel you into the colonoscopy room and the nurse make idle chit chat. What you don't know is that she's slipping you a mickey into the IV.

Your lights go out. No tunnel, no bright light, no heavenly voices, no nothing. You're dead.

Next thing you hear is "Wake up" You wake up and say "When do we start?" They say "You're done".

The doctor wanders in and says "We cut out ___polyps, see me in 3 years" or "you're all clear, see me in 8 years" and then he hands you a 4 picture composite of your nasty looking colon...then he says "oh, by the way, you have roids, wanna have me tie them off?"

Then you have to fart/pass gas as they loaded up your colon with gas to expand it. When the nurse asks if you passed gas and you say yes, you get to go home.

Oh, the doctor may comment how beautifully you prepared your colon for the visit of the tube. The tube is about 1/2" thick, somewhat flexible and the last 3-6" of it is articulated. It has a light, a camera and a place to put tiny roto router tools in it.

That's it....well....not quite...the preparation is nothing like you've ever imagined...no diarrhea compares to it, but, you get to do that in the privacy of your own privy with your wife laughing at you.
