Colonoscopy........ Please go get one if over 50 years
Hi All -
Well, I did it - after being told I was "years overdue"............... I got a colonoscopy.- properly called Gastrointestinal Endoscopy..
Now, the Doctor and Nurses say I should do PR for them - I am here to tell you IT IS NOT SO BAD.
My "hint" - do NOT eat every much the day before you start the cleansing. I did not find ANY of it to be bad. Do NOT listen to folks who tell you bad stories about it. I was prepared for a bad day, but it was just fine.
AND, the actual day of the procedure, well the Nurses and Doctor were soooo efficient and pleasant. Then, they put you out, and you don't feel/know a thing. My friend was there when I awoke, and we went out to lunch, and then home. I did take a nap when I got home, but otherwise, it was a pleasant day.
And, they told me - I have a clean bill of health - no problems at all found. Sooo, that is a good thing.
Please, do not be like me, and avoid it because you have heard bad things - GO GET THE TEST DONE. You do need a "base line" from which the doctors can work in the future.
OK, go schedule one !!! I am very pleased that I did. I am praying your results are as nice as mine. ;o)
