I had my roto rooter (colonoscopy) appointment today and I have to say it wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined it might be. So yesterday I could eat breakfast and after that nothing but clear liquids. I wasn't hungry it was more like I wanted to eat because I couldn't.
At 5pm I took two pills and then at 7pm I started drinking the 2 liters of crap. I tell you...towards the last half of that damn jug I just wanted to puke. That was by far the worse part of this entire process...well you know what happens next. Then I slept pretty good. Got up and off we went. I had an 11:30 am appt.
They hooked me up to the iv, the nice guy came in and made me laugh. He said he was sending me on a round trip to the down under - Australia...I don't know where I went but the next thing they were waking me up and within 30 minutes I was outta there. I had no polyps or cancer...I can't believe my luck but am sure grateful for it. He said we will do this again in 5 to 10 years....he prefers 5. I do have a bit of diverticula but upping my fiber will help prevent more.
All in all it was a good day I would say. Peace out.
