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!

We'll be thinking of you , David P, on Oct. 3rd.

Like Slick noted. and my Sister told me the same thing.

They will give you something that will take you " far, far away"

You know, where troubles melt like lemon drops....................

Yes, we will all be holding your hand in Spirit, you will be just fine~~~~

David it might actually be helpful that you have to work beforehand, as it will keep your mind off it some, i know you would rather not, but i find hanging around waiting for it the worst, as i will be doing tues morn for my tests, my hubby is coming home and taking me and will be with me so that is very re-assuring, remember i will be thinking of you and there in spirit holding your hand along with everyone else lol, if you find your hand rather sore afterwards you will know why, all the tight squeezing its gonna get lol, take care my friend, and i sure hope all will be well.

Dorothy, when I'm in Oz on wednesday, I'll look up the tin man, scarecrow, and the cowardly lion and tell them about you!

i've installed a padded toilet seat and stocked up on magazines. did anyone from your doctors' suggest a low residue diet- low fiber- for a few days before you start the prep? mine is booked for the 15th, so i'll be very interested in hearing about your experiences. huge hugs, and i'm handholding you in cyberspace. regards, joyce in columbus

Joyce, I don't have a padded toilet seat, but I plan to have my portable dvd player in with me (I'll watch anything but Flushed Away!). Te girl didn't mention a low-residue, low fiber diet to me, but starting tonight she told me to stop taking my Coumadin until after the test. I'll handhold your hand, Joyce for your test, also!
