Talk about flashback city concerning something being shoved up there during abuse. The doc was very nice and understanding. I'm just as bad with intubation. I'm sure it will all "come out ok in the end" (pardon the pun). But the looming date of Oct 8th doesn't yet feel like a laughing matter. <br /><br />I known cognitively the cleanse is the worst part. I am disappointed I can't take the pills. Hopefully, they will come up with a better plan in the future. I did ask about the virtual colonoscopy; however, in case you are thinking about that route in the future it isn't an accurate test. *sigh* I really appreciate your support.

I had one several years ago. Truly, the worst part was drinking the cleansing liquid. Gahhh! Once that was over, though, the rest was a breeze. No discomfort at all. And as you might expect, I was ravenous afterwards, so I got to have a lovely brunch at a favorite restaurant. Figured I deserved it. The other plus? I was told I didn't have to have another one for 10 years. Um... that's seven years, now. I hope that by the time it comes up again, they'll have a more comfortable, less disgusting way to cleanse before the procedure.<br /><br />I hope it all "goes" quickly and easily. :o)L."Wren" Vandeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587456557210335403noreply@blogger.com
