Well it was time for my colon to get the exam, that means yesterday was a day from hell, it made me remember that I need to repaint the bathroom. 4 hours sleep last night and this morning I know I'm clean inside and out. Then in to the surgery and 2 hours later I'm back home all in good order for another ten years. My Doctor uses one of the best knock out drugs around, I dream during the treatment, which I never do under other anesthesia that I have had, no nausea just feel like I had a pleasant nap. Considering what can happen if you don't get this exam everyone over 50 should get it done.

This is one we keep putting off. I am not sure my insurance will pay for it, and my husband has no insurance.

Hi, Pat! How wonderful that it went so well! I'm due next summer, and it will help me to remember how it was for you. It's certainly less horrible than the one 9 years ago was for me! Be well! Joanne

Many things have improved even the prep.

Glad you got a clean bill of health. Haven't had one of those done yet. I have a ways to go before it's recommended. My parents get them all the time though. I get to hear of all their stories about the whole process. Very entertaining.
