The fuse is lit

[Mercury]

Last month I endured my 5-year bore scoping. They gave me pills for the prep, handful of horse pills to take at 9 pm and 3 am. Those things tore up my stomach and also made me puke. I guess that was okay because I was getting scoped from both ends.

I too had the pills for just a colonoscopy prep. Thankfully, I did not get nauseated from them and there was no taste. The prep was thorough with no cramping. I'm going to ask for them next go-around.

My john is next to a sink. I help the sore butt thing by wetting a wad of TP in the sink and gently blotting.

My first colon exam was a sigmoidoscopy back in the '90s in the doctor's office with no anesthesia of any kind. The doctor and his nurse spent what seemed like hours examining every square inch of my lower intestine. Not fun!

Fast forward 15 years or so, and I see my doctor and his nurse on a TV program Mrs. swsig is watching. It turns out that they are the parents of that season's "Bachelorette", and they are shown interviewing finalists for her hand in marriage. I don't know who she finally chose, but it's likely he was the one with no polyps.

Be careful what you wish for.

I think the first sigmoidoscopy was done by none other than the great doctor Sigmoid Freud.

For me, a recent colonoscopy with the cherry stuff (and yes a great breakfast afterwards)and a long-ago sigmund Freud, all as shared above.
But i remember a third exam type once upon a time. Involved a barium enema and a scan of some sort. Don't remember the name but i remember laying on my side looking around and wondering why there was bathroom so close (well lighted) with no door?
Soon enough I found out why the doorway had hinges and no door!

My prep was ½ lb of miralax + half gallon of gatorade. Overnight in the refrigerator helped a lot. I'll second the straw.

They canceled mine because my heart rate was to high. No **** Sherlock - I just consumed half a pound of salt. What did they think would happen?

 

[swsig]

16 oz of a Vile tasting cherry flavored liquid followed by 32 oz water within the hour.
Repeat at 11:00.
Wife has been instructed to keep bathroom clear.
Got new American Rifleman and new DU magazine in position.
Think I'm ready

Have you completed the procedure yet? If so, I hope you had a blast.

Shouldazagged would have added an extra day of room detention for that one.

A lawyer doing full evacuation - when the scope goes in, does it rattle ....?

Good friend was a nurse that worked in an endoscopy center. I asked her for tips. She suggested mixing the power with clear Gatorade. Hydrate well before the prep begins, and smear AD cream on liberally before you "start".

I still had monkey butt when it was over!

I hope everything came out OK.

True, but I'd be willing to bet that about 80%-90% of us on this forum "get" it.

After all, the Xerox photo-copying machine/process wasn't invented until 1949 and wasn't in common use until 10-15 years later in the early 1960's.

I'm sure a lot of us here remember getting mimeographed copies in school, all the way up until the early 1970's...

I had mine yesterday, hopefully not another

Saw this thread again when I first woke up. Made me think of, Mission Impossible.
