;) In case you're lost, here's a link to the last update: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=82825&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
I have my colonoscope scheduled for 11:00 a.m. (have to be there at 10:00 a.m.) on Monday morning. I have my appointment with my surgeon at 2:30 that afternoon, so it'll be a full day.
The best part? My mom and I may meet up with Gini for lunch! That'll be something to look forward to. :)
I have a small request. Anyone that's had this done, can you answer two questions for me? Feel free to PM me if you feel better that way. :)
1. What was your prep? This IS the worst part...usually I have to drink almost a gallon of that icky stuff, then 1/2 bottle of the Fleet Soda (gag!) This time, they're giving me the pill form...28 total, 4 taken every 15 minutes. Is this better or worse? I'm already happy I wont have to gag on the liquid...but I wonder how it works?
2. Have you always been put to sleep for yours?? I've only had 1, but I've had 2 upper endoscopies and I've always been sedated...woken up and test was all done before I knew it. The only reason I'm worried is because I normally go to the local endoscopy center and they are AMAZING. It'll be done in the hospital at Cedars...my doctor is the one doing the test. I know I"m in excellent hands, but I worry its going to hurt or be uncomfortable. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow and talk to him the day of...to MAKE CERTAIN I'm asleep and medicated. When I asked him in the office, he said, "Of course!". But I feel the need to be certain it'll be the same as I'm used to. New tests are always a bit scary...even now, my tummy is fluttering because I'm nervous. :(
OK...let me know if you know.
Hugs,
Kelly :)
