Well kids,
No free ice cream this week. I ran out of time with work and life being busy.
I have to be at the hospital at "0" dark thirty for my scheduled colonoscopy.
No food since last night, so I'm hangry.
Headed home to start drinking the " GoLYTELY" ( sounds so appealing ) osmotic
flush fluid. Then work on trying to sleep with one eye open.
At least I can start the weekend with a lighter scale number and pants fitting loosely.
Stay safe out there. I'll post at some point sooner or later.
Some Jeff Foxworthy.....
Slainte!

ReplyDeleteDave Berry was the bomb, miss his writing
DeleteBe careful of beer and greasy foods (BBQ, Burgers) for a day or so buddy.
ReplyDeleteMichael the oddly anonymous today.
BTDT, best of luck to you - may they find no polyps...
ReplyDeleteKeep VERY close to Mr. toilet...
Good attitude. It's not that big a deal. Some cheese sliders from the Castle will fill you right back up and then show Golitely how's it done. LOL
ReplyDeleteHope it all comes out alright.

I remember mine....
ReplyDeleteWhen you're done, you'll feel like one of Bill Cosby's dates.
Oh, shit! I'm still laughing about the Jeff Foxworthy video.

There are better methods than golytely these days (what a name). A combination of magnesium citrate and dulcolax are somewhat easier to deal with on the upper end with the same result at the lower end. Prep is worse than the procedure but from personal experience, it can be a literal life-saver.
ReplyDeleteAwlful stuff that colon cleanser stuff. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteDid you remember to install a seat belt on your toilet?
ReplyDeleteI hope it goes well & you get the 'see ya in 5" talk.
ReplyDeleteI saw Jeff Foxworthy last month, he was funny! Good luck tomorrow.
I can preform the colonoscopy cheaper than the hospital. I have a six foot 1" garden hose, a flashlight and I have some silicon industrial lubricant and a rehoboam(4.5L) of your favorite intoxicant. I was a nurse...
ReplyDeleteyeh but, what about the meme with the hamster and the headlight ? il.chuck

I believe you could do it Cederq, but don't forget the Tyvek suit! Good luck Irish!

👆 Bwahahahahahaha. Did mine last year.All he said was eat more fiber.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I had this, the stuff you had to drink was awful, the result was unpleasant, and a couple of times I swore I'd generated thrust.
ReplyDeleteLast time the newer stuff was a lot less unpleasant but you still had to sleep carefully.
The procedure itself was nothing, but damn, the prep...
Very best on a good report; colon cancer is nothing to ignore and screening for it is a valuable if uncomfortable tool.
ReplyDeleteI almost said "Very best on a clean report" but wanted to avoid the pun.
I couldn't NOT do it.
At least you had a great training video...

See Cederq for the gentler, softer touch!. Other than that, you boomers are quite crazy with shoving shit back up your posterior cavity. Why again? Cancer, polyps, lost change.....WTF???? I could see launching an investigation if there was blood or other, but not a fuckin chance bro.

So, my wifely unit is a colon cancer survivor having had it detected by colonoscopy and as a result gets to live and get the flashlight and garden hose up the kazoo every three years now so do remember that it could be worse.
ReplyDeleteThe colonoscopy is easy, it's the night before that is the real pain in the a**. Hope you get a clean bill of health, Irish.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Irish, Its a shitty job but someone has to do it
ReplyDeleteYou should have had your wife draw a big arrow on your butt with "This end up" written in bold sharpie letters.
ReplyDeleteI'll cover for you boss, rest up the old stink star.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was adamant about not getting a colonoscopy.Even mentioning it started an argument. I was off one Friday and left early to have coffee with friends. She was still asleep. I got home a couple of hours later and my loving wife was sitting there looking like death barely warmed over. She'd been having pains, but convinced herself it was gall bladder problems and never mentioned it to me. I called the doctor and told him we were on our way. When we arrived, she was feeling better and the doctor agreed that the symptoms could be gall bladder problems, but sent us to the hospital for x-rays just to be safe. It was colon cancer and surgery was scheduled for the next day. She lost 18 inches of her colon and spent the next three months with a colostomy bag. There was a fear that it had spread, but no signs were found in further exams and tests. The oncologist advised against chemotherapy. That was in 2013 and she's still cancer free. She's one of a very small percentage of the lucky ones. I strongly advise against following her example.
ReplyDeleteMy last one the doctor said I was old enough to skip it but like I told him, "I'd feel funny about dying from something I could have prevented by getting it checked out".
DeleteWhen it was over I got the "see you in 5 years" greeting which was alright with me!
I keep waking up halfway through. The last one I told them and I still woke up. At 70 I think I’m
ReplyDeleteDone with that crap.
