Yesterday was another colonoscopy.  Supposedly, I am good for a bit.  Will keep you posted.

Uhhhh...  The "prep" is the worst part.  I had to deal with the prep WITH half my body as almost dead meat (post stroke which makes my right side less responsive...  I'm lucky to be left-handed) but, if anything, I don't envy you.  

Oh, I did get a laugh when I had them checking my upper GI as part of the lower GI and I said that I hoped they wouldn't use the same instrument in the wrong order...  I didn't want to wake up with an unusual taste.

I hope the result was encouraging...

The real problem for me is that I have to my time with the keyboard and I have to go over what I've already written which makes it harder to write.

   They INSISTED that they would use different instruments.  They even showed me the two different ones they would use on me.  Although...they knocked me out.  Why would they do that, if they weren't going to cheat?

I just had my 1st 'upper' today. Result another friggin pill to add to my morning gravel. 

I once had what they call a sigmoid probe - it was painful! I can't imagine what a full probe feels like, and don't want to. Knock me out.

Mike
