I finish writing my article and immediately begin prep for tomorrow’s fun. The festivities seem to have died down. I haven’t eaten anything in 24 hours, with another 15 hours before I can eat again.

After your last post, you don’t need a scan, you need a medal for the home run you hit….
Good luck. Had mine in January.
I’ve had 2. It’s not the procedure that’s awful, it’s the prep.
Never ever have a Colin O’Skopie without the general anesthesia; EVER.
Auntie can tell you from personal experience that the first turn is a lulu and after that should be the interrogation procedure* used for Dokter Falsi and his crew.
*(Think a root canal for your guts.)
I’m no big fan of colonoscopy, but when performed competently the procedure really is no big deal; general anesthesia is substantially more risky.
FWIW I had a colonoscopy down in the GI department (mildly sedated), went through a 30 – 40 minute recovery period, then took the elevator up two floors to go back to my job.
Had last one in June. Family history of colon cancer so doc wants one every 5 years. This was my 4th one and most likely last. Just got a bill for $275 co-pay after paying $110 for prep. Almost $400 to get reamed and never had to pay anything before. Doctor stating family history is not considered “routine” screening now.
Good luck! I hope you have a morning appointment and not an afternoon appointment.
Colon cancer runs rampant on one side of my family. Grandmother died from it and 6 of her 13 siblings had it. A day or two of discomfort is better than the alternative.
The prep and the wait are worse than the procedure.
Unless, of course, you get anally raped. They may tell Admin they’ll give him something just to calm his nerves – then he wakes up and he got Cosby’d. I wouldn’t worry about it, though. Probably no more than 30-40% chance of anal rapage – statistically speaking.
I’ve never been alone during my procedures. At least I don’t think so 😲
The worst part is downing the “go-lightly”.
Well, maybe the worst part is the staff giggling, taking photos on their personal phones while talking about your odd looking butt hole as you’re slowly coming out of your Versed induced trance.
Good luck.
Ok, I was just kidding about the Versed.
I’m less worried about the indignity than whatever crazy shit I would talk about while drugged. Is Versed what they all use?
I’m sure some places still use that. My last one was 4 Duclolax® and some Miralax powder®. Took maybe 30 minutes, then all hell broke loose. My wife’s first round was one of those God-awful mixtures. My first mixture was not too bad.
When doc and the nurse ask if they can go deeper, say “No.” If they haven’t found anything by that time, they are just having fun.
The biggest problem with a colonoscopy. It’s a pain in the ass.
I have a good story about going through that back in the Summer of 2008. The hospital where the procedure was taking place was about a mile from my Mother’s home at 5am so I stayed there the day before. They gave you this big old jug of lemon flavored whatever the hell that stuff was and I settled myself in with a couple of books next to the bathroom and just hunkered down and waited.
There was a crew putting on a new roof that day and at some point they asked her maid for a drink so she offered them some cold lemonade.
You could probably put two and two together, but you have never seen a construction site clear out as fast as that one did. I don’t think they knew what hit ’em.
Good luck tomorrow and don’t forget to whisper I love you to the doctor before the shot takes effect. Don’t know if will make him feel any better about the job, but it will get a giggle out of the nurses.
lemon is good..
You can´t make this shit up.
That was hilarious!
Farm dude: Thanks for that story………..I haven’t laughed that hard in 10 years. Better story than the VP for HR falling flat on her ass after one of her high heels broke. The building shook……
I firmly believe that the only real value in colonoscopies is the fact that the preparation actually finally cleans out your intestines. For most people, sadly, that is probably a first. Colon hydrotherapy might be seen as a disturbing procedure, but keeping the plumbing clean is a great thing for good intestinal health. Your intestines are your primary means of getting rid of waste that would otherwise lead to problems. Far too many folks do not have healthy waste elimination systems.
Actually, these days the stuff they give you doesn’t cause serious kidney damage like the old stuff did.
Best of luck. Great “Two and a half men” episode on the procedure.
Two and a half men? Is that the one with the pedo fag and his brother the fag?
Hope everything comes out okay 😃
Those little knobs and pincers hardly ever fall off!
Get a padded toilet seat.
you seem to dig the classic rock, so maybe listening to some eric crapton and kansass on the way to the procedure will ease your mind.
Hoping everything is ok.
About 10 years ago, I saw 3-4 little pinkish flakes in my urine.
One of the residence Docs said it might be kidney shedding tissue.
Turned out to be nothing, but the examination protocol to make SURE it was nothing
was for the doctor to push a thin cam-scope line about 4 inches into the urethra.
Not only was that horrific, but for two days afterward urination felt like somebody
was putting a lit match about a half inch down the pee line.
I’ll take a colonoscopy over THAT any day.
After 12 years, I’m on my 14th, Chasing Bladder cancer is very enlightening. Chemo and radiotherapy (the burning of the bladder wall) starts tomorrow, 5 days week over 5weeks.
I would settle for a Cystoscopy any day.
Bonne chance, mon ami.
Anon–been there . My prayers are for your recovery .
Men seldom get lower urinary tract infections… which is a good thing. I had one once, and pissing felt like flaming turpentine (I guess).
Good luck boss shouldn’t be much of an issue getting it in since governments have been fucking us up the ass pretty hard for the past few years
Didn’t The Alan Parsons Project sing about this?
I don’t think so…
I am 85 and I have never had one……Amen
Had mine a month ago. No big deal. Yes, the purging is not fun but the knock -out drugs I got were great and cancer is worse than 24 hours of the shits.
Just make sure the doc doesnt have both hands on your shoulders Jim.
Colonoscopies are funny as hell when peeps are waking up and fartin up a storm lmao.
Good luck.
You may not be s__tting us, but these guys were certainly s__tting the dictator of France.
Auntie is waiting on the procedure post script; did they find those missing keys?
No. But they did find 3 benign polyps and a partridge in a pear tree.
Too bad they didn’t find the five golden rings instead of the partridge, you would be rich. 🙂
And the doctor and assistant shoved more than that snake camera up your ass…. While you were out cold.
My last procedure ( problems from cancer treatments ) I had a nurse anesthetist that was a 10.5 . Before she put me under I said Lord please don’t let me wake up and say to her, ” Honey I put you in my spank bank” .
The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) is a scale used by a physician who is performing your colonoscopy to judge the quality of bowel cleanliness. It replaces subjective terms such as “excellent”, “good” and “fair”. Three segments of the colon are looked at for this. The highest rating for a segment is 3 so a perfect overall score is 9 = 3 x 3
I scored a 9 on mine. No Pressure. And if you get a score of 9 you can make a bumper sticker that says “My kids may not be honor students but I scored a 9 on the BBPS”.
Not doing it, ever!
what happened to that shit in the box mail in shit?
