Well, in the ongoing saga of my stomach issue, today I underwent a colonoscopy. I am 46 now and my Dr. has cheefully been doing the 5 year count down till I am 50 and need to have my 1st screening. Well, since the pain has been ongoing and all the other tests have been ok, she said to have the colonoscopy done 4 yrs early...ICK
The actual procedure was not a big deal, the prep wasnt even a big deal- it was going 36 hours with nothing to eat but jello and clear fluids. They now have pills you can take to cleanse the colon, instead of drinking all the icky go litely fluid. The only downside to the pills is you have to take 28 of them!!..20 within one hour and then 8 the next morning..hard, but do-able!!..now do you get the symbolism of the twisty slide in the picture?..lol!!
The good news is that my colon is beautiful and I dont have to have another test like this for 10 more years.

OMG your picture made my morning! Jim is sitting here and I had him guess what medical proecedure you were talking about :) He did right away. Too funny friend.
I'm glad your colon got a clean bill of health, but I sure do wish they would find what's making you feel bad :(. {{Hugs}}
Glad for the clean bill of health. Too bad you aren't getting the answers you are seeking, though. Loved the picture!
Having the new pills is a GREAT thing...that drink is awful. I have to get another one in 2 years (and no, I'm not over 50 yet). Glad yours came out well!
