oh poop

anything,everything to keep my mind off it as much as possible. perhaps a craft of some kind. when i had my reconstruction,i was a bag of nerves beforehand. my least favorite was the "no fluids after 10". not eating is no problem,but nothing in the morning,not even water sucks.

awwww, I'm sorry. U could be dumb like me & just not have them. It is nerve wracking to have to wait on something like that. Staying busy doing anything helps me when i have a dread like that. I do good cleaning then.I hope everything turns out well w.your test.

I spent the evening before visiting with the roomie and a friend who came over. I guess I'm due for another one since its been 5 years... There is a family history of colon cancer - but the great aunt who got it was in her 90's...

I hope that it all goes well Dawn. Not the nicest way to spend a day. But I'm thinking of you. I guess that I spend the time trying to think of other things and failing to manage it. I'm sending you a hug. HUG!

That sounds like a real pain in the A$$! I really hope everything comes out IN THE END! Sorry.........I didn't mean to make you THE BUTT of my jokes. Gotta go............I'm running a LITTLE BEHIND.

When in such situation think of the gone by days when I was 20 and eat banana, grapes and orange and pea nut. And surely you would look all thirty. Is there any doubt?

I'm yet to have one of these but I hear the liquid they make you drink is sensational! Passing the time sure is a challenge 'cos you aren't able to pass anything else right now are ya? Hmmmmm, have you considered star jumps while trying to balance a live poodle on your head?

...pass the time... good one mate. Very funny. Seriously, I hope you're past it () now and feeling comfy again. I would probably just read a book

Well hopefully by now it's over for you....man I hate the anticipation of going to the doctor....makes me nerves so I try to keep my hands as well as my mind occupied. So doing something totally mindless like crocheting is a good activity ....counting etc. LOL...good luck! Hope everything come out alright! LOL

I was just like you before mine concerned Try thnking what you were doing the same time the day before then tell yourself that at the same tomorrow it will all be over. That's all I can come up with. I didn't have much other alternatives when I had mine because I was having other, even worse stuff, done at the time as I was in hospital Good luck!

hi dawnald when I had my colonoscopy it was a piece of cake, I was almost asleep didnt feel anything, didnt hurt and was back in the recovery room in just a short while. done by competent people its nothing to worry about. over the y ears I have had two, and it was worth it to know I was free of cancer or any polys, oh I have diverticulitis but thousands of people have it and dont even know it so that no problem. but the only grim part for me was the stuff you had to take to clean you out,now that was grisly, I practically stayed in the bathroom for hours the night before but still managed to poop on the floor. but the procedure itself is quick and painless so dont fret it at all.

Hi dawnald, I suppose by the time you read this, you prooly had it done, so how are you feeling now hun? hope it all went well andyo were put out so you wouldn't have felt a thing. Tamara

You know I went through this about 3 weeks ago, I just kept telling myself by tomorrow this will all be over. I hate to tell you but this time is took my poor bod a week to get back in good working condition. Hang in there and I hope you have good news like I did. Pat

I am sorry that you are going to go through this. I am supposed to be having one but I am terrified of doing so. I think that you are very brave to do it. Let me know how it goes. I am saying some serious prayers for you and that all will be well. What would I do? don't you have to live on the toilet for a few days or something? I expect that I would have a lot of reading material to distract me but mostly I would pray. Seriously, prayer has helped me all of my life. God Bless and let me know how it went and yes, I do want to hear all the pooey details!Mostly, I want to know that you are o.k.
