The Colonoscopy
I don’t know if it’s a good idea to be sharing this but I had a colonoscopy. I suppose because I feel like medical things should be private, but then again I consented for my “privacy” to be invaded for about 19 minutes. It’s ok, I don’t remember anything.
They found two polyps and they snipped them. Besides that, everything else was ok. Doesn’t look like there’s anything I should be concerned about.
The prepping to clean my bowels wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be, but it’s not something I would call fun either. Let me paint you a picture with a scientific question: Have you ever urinated through your anus? About 8 times in a day? TMI?
As mentioned above, the procedure was pretty quick. I remember getting there and checking in. They set me up in a room with a bed stretcher and curtains. They asked me some questions, had me undress and put on a gown, and setup an IV on my right hand. They had the Dr. and the Anesthesiologist talk to me as well. But once they took me into the room to perform the act and applied the anesthesia on me, the next thing I remember is being woken up by one of the nurses.
My wonderful partner in life was there with me in the room before and after the procedure. She’s amazing and I love her deeply. I was really loopy when I woke up. They offered me a cup of water but it slipped from my hand.
The whole thing was almost uneventful, but I had a camera put up my butt and inside my intestines. I just don’t remember that happening, but I got the pictures to prove it.
