Oh.... One last tip.... The camera snake has a powerful lighting system for seein in dark places...

Keep your mouth closed.... It's sorta embarrassing to see your own grinning teeth projected on the opposite wall.... It also tends to cause the technician to start giggling.... Makes it harder for them to apex the curves if you know what I mean....

Good luck.... We expect a full report...

Oh... And don't forget to leave a tip if the tech did a nice job....

 

The last time I had the procedure done, I was still awake when the doctor came into the room. I said: "Oh, here comes Dr. Gloom". Laughingly he said: "This is not the time to piss your doctor off". I quickly apologized.

 

Yup, the prep is the worst part, if you get a pretty bedside nurse like I did watch what you say in the recovery room, I swear my wife does not have a sense of humor.

You will be fine....

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles CD. Glad to hear you're going home. Take care of yourself man. Hope you're back on your feet soon.

More on getting old sucks... I've gotta spend three days at the VA in the next couple of
weeks. Nothing to do with the GI tract though thank goodness.

Day1- plastic surgery followup and PET/CT scan
Day2- radiology followup and MRI
Day3- hematology/oncology followup and bloodwork, Then after my last appt.
I head for my Mini dealer and pick up some parts I ordered.

 

They aren't too bad... I get a borescope done every 4 years...
Drugs put you out.... I wish they would let me sleep it off a little longer after the procedure.... It's done in a nice dark room which is kind of comforting.... What kills me is the snickering I hear as the drugs take over and I enter La La Land....

Ask for Rosie..... Git R Gone....

 

They keep you sedated.... It's not too much of a big deal... It really isn't..

I am only aware of slight discomfort at the time.... Mostly when it's trying to make turns...

Think of it as a MINI in the Dragon.... You are the Dragon....

BE THE DRAGON....

 

Another way to look at it, as my dad says: Growing old is a privilege denied to many.

 

Been there done that and its easy.
Now you don't drink Gallons of "clear the path" stuff, it's now 10-12 oz mixed with a Sprite.

Just make sure your bathroom as packed with TP, a good book or your iPad.

Also you are not getting fisted in prison, they 90% knock you out and the camera is thinner then a pencil. You will feel no after affects.

Oh and one last thing when you wake up be ready to release the longest and loudest farts of your life an no one will care.

 

Do a youtube and git "Likes"

 

See that was .....

 

How you feelin' today, CD. I still have a couple of years before my maiden rectal violation. Can't wait.

 

CRAP...you walk into BMW/MINI dealers....think you should know the feeling!! The difference.. they (the doc's and nurses) use lube and usually give you good drugs at the Dr's office...the car dealer...coffee and a stale doughnut (if you are lucky)...and the co-pay is usually MUCH higher!!
PS I usually joke with the wife i pick a female doc cause they have smaller fingers and a "womans" touch!! :ihih:

 

Ah. The first gallon of "golightly" is a piece of cake. It's that second gallon that really sucks! I feel for you brother. I lost count after the first seven or eight. They don't get any better either although the drugs have improved.

 

Get a buddy to take you to and from your visit. At least someone other than your wife... The things you're likely to say about the staff while under the influence might be better kept following the Bro Code.

 

After my Dad had a colonoscopy, he told the doctor, "Doc, I don't smoke, but after that, I feel like having a cigarette!"

 

Drinking that colonoscopy strength draino is the worst part. Get through that & the rest is easy, it ain't no big deal nothing to worry about. When you are done they will hopefully say you're a perfect arse hole. Best of luck.

 

Due to some "digestion issues" in my 20's I have to get scoped every so often. It aint so bad. Best few hours of sleep I get all year!

 

Is this the procedure where we get the phrase....

"I can see the light at the end of the tunnel?"...

 

Piece of cake. We all have our favorite sayings. One of mine is: If this is your biggest problem you've got it made!!

 

My colonoscopy went well, even though I had psyched myself beforehand into thinking it would be disastrous. The procedure itself literally was painless and I awoke still thinking to continue counting backwards from 10 when the nurse told me to get dressed and get out!

The ONLY negative was drinking all that crap before the procedure. I used "Tang" mixed with it to help hide the taste. I will NEVER, EVER have Tang again! :frown2:
