This sucks
 

Its 8:30 in the am, and Im starving, but.....I cant eat. Since I turned the big 40 this year and my parents cancer history, tomorrow I go for a wonderful colonoscopy. No food today, tonight I drink the stuff that will have me XXXXXXX all night and then tomorrow some guy sticks a tube up my arse.
I keep telling myself its for my kids and its better to do this before its to late.
Those faint of heart should avoid the political forum today 'cause I am going to be MISERABLE........ :love:

That is why development and approval of noninvasive test such as those under development by Exact Sciences is so appealing. DNA based testing of "stool" sample.

Disclosure: I'm a stock holder and a person that believes in DNA testing

Just go home tonight and relax in front of the tube by watching a few episodes of "OZ" to get you in the mood and you'll be fine.

In all seriousness, tis better to be safe than sorry. and it is for your kids.....they need your Grumpy arse around for a few more decades.

You're doing the smart thing, and besides it's only one day. It will be over before you know it.

If it makes you feel any better, my wife had to fast from Sunday night to last night. I need to remember to stay away from her when she hasn't had any coffee.

I think I could eat up until noon of the day before... At any rate, I was the biggest objector to anyone doing anything in that area. But it wasn't bad at all. Piece of cake. Told them to knock me out before they touched me. Flush wasn't a big deal at all. Weigh yourself before and after. We had a thread started by Tagger to see who was full of the most @#$%.

cool idea, I will weigh myself. I can actually eat popsicles and jello, as long as its not red. It will all be over by 10am tomorrow, so I'll get through it. Just seems like today will be a loooooooonnnng day,

it's a piece of cake

no fretting needed


added: oh by the way
water will solve hunger pangs

i've had about 12 glasses and am hitting a wall now, starving!

Just don't ask for a souvenir

good news, I did a little internet research and it appears beer is a "clear" liquid! So I am going home to pound some beers and some Halflytley!

i hear the colodrink is some kinda awful.
best advice... don't trust a fart.

I did the pills not liquid, very effective. MrHunters is definitely correct in his advice: they are not farts!

you'll get alot of reading in tonight, you have to continue untill .... is clear, tomorrow, you'll be like 1 of 50 people doing the same and you'll sleep through all the proctology jokes. and then you won't do something for like 3 days.

A student of proctology is in the morgue one day after classes, wanting to get a little practice in before the final exams. He goes over to a table where a body is lying face down. He uncovers the sheet over the body, and to his surprise he finds a cork in the corpse's rectum.
Figuring that this is fairly unusual, he pulls the cork out, and to his surprise, music begins playing, "On the road again...just can't wait to get on the road again..."

The student is amazed, and places the cork back in the backside. The music stops. Totally freaked out, the student calls the Medical Examiner over to the corpse. "Look at this, this is really something," the student tells the examiner as he pulls the cork back out again. "On the road again...just can't wait to get on the road again..."

"So what?" the Medical Examiner replies, obviously unimpressed with the student's discovery.

"But isn't that the most amazing thing you've ever seen?" asked the student.

"Are you kidding?" replied the Examiner, "Any Azz-hole can sing country music!"

:rotf2:

I can now laugh about drinking the citrus flavored flushing elixer. Very effective

so, it wasnt really that bad. The gallon of flush didnt taste that bad, I was through crapping by 9:30 last night and the procedure was nothing. I wasnt knocked out and actually watched the monitor. I am almost as good looking inside as I am outside! There was one small polyp that he had to snip and it will be sent for testing but he thinks its ok. Not eating was the hardest part!

That could be interpreted in 2 ways.:jester:

consider yourself LUCKY !

Hope they at least took you out to dinner 1st......

Always been knocked out, where did you go?

Spinal on Friday for my arthroscopy though, me and the doc are gonna have a little talk

Brighams and Womens in Chesnut Hill

And now a PERFECT ass hole!:love::gh:

Had one done 6 yrs ago.No issues..The funny part was when you wake up and there's a few women in the recovery room with you and the nurse is telling you all to "pass the air " out of your colon.the faces on them was a sight to behold...me.. I just :rotf2:.I've told others that have said"no one is stuffing anything in my rump" Which would you rather have....a tube or a knife up there?Go and get it done it can save your life.
