I Should have a Colonoscopy more Often



Not really. It took me forever to drink the nasty prep drink and felt like I would vomit after every gulp. Then it was followed by horrible abdominal cramping and you can imagine the rest. I did manage to lose 2 pounds in one night...but gained it back the next day after I had lunch. Dang it!

On a positive note, as Tami mentioned it was like having colonics, flush out my colon to be healthy...no thanks...I think I'll be unhealthy in a colon kind of way. They found a bunch of hemmeroids and told me to eat more fiber. Okay, I can handle that. Then there's my sweet visiting teachers who watched my screaming kids and sent a yummy soup dinner that hit the spot. Recovery actually went quite well... thanks to great friends and a dear husband who helped me out. I can't complain...not that much anyway.
