I'm going to gross you out
(Sunday, 24 August 2008) Written by Endicott Road

I have something to share with all of you, and it's medical, and will probably gross you out.  I'm scheduled for the lovely procedure called a colonoscopy tomorrow, and today is my "prep" day.  For all of you who have been through this, and know someone who has, you know what's in store for yours, truly.  For those of you who don't, this is a procedure where the put a scope into your intestines (NOT down your throat or by incision, but by entering the only place left) to see if there are problems with the walls of your large intestines.  In order for the procedure to work, and for them to diagnose anything, you can't have anything in your intestines.  So today, I get to take a series of 4 Dulcolax tables, then drink a solution at the rate of an 8 ounce glass every 15 minutes, and get royally cleaned out!  I expect to be in the rest room continuously starting before 5 p.m.  If I don't answer any e-mails or voice mails, please be understanding.

And, NO, I won't be writing a song about this.

No need to pray for me or wish me well.  I'm sure I'll get through this just fine.  My family is here, and there giving me a lot of moral support and cracking wise at every opportunity.  I write this so that you can hear the immortal words in the song "You Wear It Well" by Rod Stewart.

Think of me and try not to laugh.

Gah! My stepdad had to go through something very similar.  
 
This isn't great, ER, but I'm sure it's for a very good reason! (Good luck!)

i had one of these. the day before concluded with one of my lowest physical points as a human being.  
 
didnt even notice the thing itself. sedation, you lie down, joke with the nurse about yer bum, and wake up and walk away and eat food. its that easy.  
 
this is the story of my bum.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post. 
I was able to get through everything, so to speak, and I'm fine. The doctor didn't find anything abnormal (except my sense of humor), and I'm back on solid food. 
For awhile there, though, I was losing everything that wasn't nailed down! 
Thanks again.

Talk about epic power dumps, yeah. That stuff is aggressive! 
 
I swear I found stuff I hadn't even eaten yet, I feel your pain. On the upswing, congrats on the test being good!  
 
Let's hope this memory fades before Feb 09, lest we all have songs like "the bowl blues" and what not!
