The Colonoscopy Thread....

Great gramma always said, horses sweat, men perspire and ladies merely glow. She was too much of a lady to discuss.

I didn't get those genes.

Glad it went well golf66

 

Well I'll be damm there's a thread on colonoscopy. I just had one a few day's ago. I was violated from both entrance and exit. I did request that they start my procedure from the top though.

 

Sometimes it pays to stay awake so you can tell them that they're on the wrong end to perform a colonoscopy.....

Bet that left a bad taste in your mouth!

"Hey Doc, where do you want me to leave my pants?" "Over on the chair, with mine!!!"

 

My first colonoscopy was awkward. I am an Rn, The ones that came in to assist in the procedure were folks I know. . After the IV went in, it was lights out until I woke up later in another room. Next time I had it done, I didn't worry about it a bit. Goes with the territory. I know I try hard not to embarrass anyone I had to do procedures on that required exposing parts that were normally covered. I've put hundreds of catheters in. Just would talk to them about a football game, cars, the dog, or something else of interest to keep them distracted. Works most of the time.

 

Did your buddies play a trick on you and let you wake up in a room on the other side of town?

 

That would be too awkward for me to contemplate, but I work in a welding shop so it doesn't really equate. What could I say?
-" Dude, you feeling OK? Just my opinion, but you'll not get the penetration you're after using that rod." Seeeee.. it doesn't work.
I'll see myself out..

 

In a bathtub full of ice with a note- "Thanks for the kidney".

 

My ex was a welder for 20 years of our marriage so I actually understand what you are saying, and that is totally

 

Glad to hear everything went well

Depends on the forum. Lol. If you ask my girlfriend, she'd probably say the backside makes more sense sometimes.

A colonoscopy isn’t my favorite test, but it’s up there!

 

My dad is a colon cancer survivor and has worn a colostomy bag for almost 20 years now. So I have had and will have many more to do. Here is a well known statement in our home, "better to burp and taste it than fart and waste it".

 

Definitely not for snowflakes, right?

 

No Play-Doh needed here! Wait till the flakes have to deal with medical issues. A colonoscopy will be followed by 6 months of grief counseling.

My previous Dr tried to get me to have a colonoscopy for years, but I never went. Then he retired and my new Dr (a 30 something) woman had me booked the first time I saw her for something else. The stuff I had to drink was vile but I did get a good clean-out. They found and removed 4 polyps and I have to go back for another go in 5 years (well now 4). I am looking forward to it,
