After my last “cleanse”, I vowed NEVER AGAIN ! I’m 74, and if I get colon cancer, I want to be kept mostly pain-free, and I’ll go when it’s my time to catch Heaven’s Bus. I helped my Dad with cleanses until he was 85, and that’s when he made the same decision.
a friend of mine decided to follow the directions HIS way. mixed up the solution about two hours before heading to his appointment and drank it down. the clinic was NOT pleased and he had to reschedule. AND he had a very very interesting day. js
I have prostate cancer, had lot’s of radiation treatments. The radiation caused skin damage, which caused infections. Had to have emergency surgery because of one of the infections, which would not heal because of the skin damage. Had several surgeries to try to close the open wound. Every surgery had to do a colonoscopy prep. The last surgery, which fixed my open wound, did the prep, only to have the surgery canceled because the anesthesiologist had to go to an emergency heart surgery. Had to do the prep AGAIN 6 days later. Was such a pain in the *.
I don’t remember having nurses and a doctor wait for me to fart. Maybe I did it while I was still out cold, or my doctor doesn’t require it. It certainly happened that evening at home after the test – I had forgotten about that side effect. I consider a colonoscopy to be a minor pain in the butt, and also a chance for a very good nap. I have had much worse things done to me that hurt a lot more. Things like nerve conduction tests. I would take two colonoscopies a week over those, but they don’t bother some people much at all. Plus, no nap!

When they did that to me, I did most of my passing the night before. But maybe Earl’s a little slow…

Been there, done that. They claimed to be out of teeshirts but offered me a backless hospital gown.

They pump you full of gas to expand your colon. The they won’t let you leave until you fart. All the nurses cheer for you when you finally let one.

Earl is more than ready to put this test in the rear-view mirror.

How nice: he’s passed and he hasn’t even taken the test yet.
If only all tests were that way.

After my last colonoscopy I won the crepitation contest. Lord Windesmear and Paul Boomer never had a chance. I blew them away.

It’s the kind of test where they ask probing questions.

Plenty of time to study for the test.

I’ve never had a colonoscopy. Before anyone gets near my butt, I expect flowers and a nice dinner first!

And, Earl, better have a seat in the doctor’s bathroom first, just in case.

More likely all night and he should be walking more gingerly.

I’m still not sure why Earl agreed to have a colonoscopy. He seems too old to have the procedure.

When I was asked if I had diarrhea, I told the nurse, “not yet”. Took her less than a second to realize what I had said.
