Bleeech - we'll be thinking of you!

Karen, that's exactly the word I would use!

When I read your post title, I thought you were getting married.


Good luck with your procedure.

Hmmmm.....colonoscopy
I've had one. The only words of advice I have for you is on the day before, don't go any further than 5 ft from the toilet!!!

Really, the preparation is worse that the procedure. They give you something to relax and believe me....you will go "far far away" and wake up when it's all over.

It's a good test to have. On mine they found and removed some pre-cancer polyps...they even showed them to me (I asked to see them). Don't be nervous. Just look forward to the drugs.

I attended a Rotary meeting and one of our members spoke about his procedure.

He promised all of his buddies that he would throw them a huge party if they would all go have colonoscopies on the same day. Just a good preventative measure for men.

What was funny about it is that his buddies agreed and they were all on their cell phones talking to each other the day before "after" they had taken the liquids. All of them were in their bathrooms!!!!!!
Slick is right - stay very very close to home base...............and good luck!

They all agreed that the worst part was the day before.

I have had them and will have another in a year or so. They SAVE lives! Scared now? What about if you don't have it done and you find out to late that you put it off to long like my brother did..... It cost him his life... such a waste of a great life!

Carole, I know you will be there in spirit to hold my hand and comfort me. I be with you in spirit when you go through your tests. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you, Sis, and prayers.

Believe it or not, my boss wants me to work a few hours wednesday before my colonoscopy! I wish I would've taken the whole day, but I think working will wear me out before the test. Aren't bosses wonderful!

David I have had one too and, believe me, hearing the words "all looks just fine" from your doctor will be worth it. I had a couple of polyps removed at the time and, for me, it was well worth the long night in the bathroom. I hope you have lots of good reading material. Actually, working right up until you have to drink *the stuff* will take your mind off of what is to come!
