Well, Today I had my Middle Age rite of passage....

[WCGreen]

I had my first colonoscopy today...

Boy was that fun...

Can't eat for a day...

Industrial strength laxatives...

And then, because I have trouble breathing, I had to be away for the whole thing...

Turns out, it was cool...

I got to watch the procedure and they even gave me some pics...

Bottom Line, this colon is clean...

I figure if KKKatie Curic can share her colon on national TV, I mide as well share my experience...

(I won't post the pictures...)

1. Thank you for not posting the pictures...

But congratulations for having it done!

[sazemisery]

2. Actually, it is quite interesting.

I have witnessed both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Since I like medical things it was quite informative.

3. I thought you were going to say you had your first hot flash.

:rofl:
I'm glad to hear your colon is ok. Now about that semicolon... ;-)

[WCGreen]

4. The hot flash came when the laxative kicked in....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. That can happen...

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Those procedures are soo much fun...

Lucky you, you got pictures!

I didn't even get to see mine...

Glad everything went well...

Welcome to Middle Ageness!

A real rite of passage....pun intended!

:hi:

7. I'm so not looking forward to that...

But I'm glad you did it, it's an important test, as I have learned from family history, it's preventative. I've been through it several times with my husband. After the last two times, I learned a thing or two. Schedule it in the summer, so he can sleep out on the back porch the night before, it's easy to hose off.

8. Yeah, MrShine went through that magical experience a year or two ago

everything checked out fine on his end, too. Pun intended. :D

Glad you're well.

:hi:

[WCGreen]

In the Middle Ages
The world went dark
Everything together
Just fell apart
King in his castle
The drawbridge up
You could pray in a cathedral
Sleep in a hut
Live like a monk
Die of the plague
If you need a vacation
Go on a crusade
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
Conditions were brutal
You could rail at society
But it was feudal
Health care was holistic
The food was organic
A few little maggots
Didn’t cause a panic
They would bleed you with leeches
For your fevered cough
They would cast out your demons
While your leg rotted off
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
The Earth was flat
That was no bull
The Pope saw to that
Beowulf was a literary hit
But no one could read
So it didn’t sell much
To paint in perspective
In Florence or France
You would just have to wait
For the Renaissance
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
The world went dark

14. Nice touch...

15. When my SO had his..

he did the laxative deal
and I drove him to the Doc
the next day. When I walked
in with him to check him in, I
looked around the waiting room.
I could tell which ones were there
for the procedure and which ones
were not. All of the ones that
were there to have the procedure
looked really pale, wrung out, and
like they were terrified they might
fart.

:D
