After watching PSU vs tOSU and PSU vs MSU, only fitting that I get to

If you post tomorrow, nobody can say “you’re full of s***”!

I just had one done. Good results. I did have a weird dream while under, not necessarily a nice one. Will be my last since my doc says after 70 the procedure is more risky than the value!

I did my C Scope today and for good measure started the exam with an E Scope. I remember rolling on to my side and twenty minutes later getting into the recovery chair. Good job team.
The A meds are so much better than ten years ago as this time when I opened my eyes I was fully aware and perceptive. No issues. Was my third pass at this exam over fifteen years and everything is so much better.
My prep was not a chug. I had dry miralax dissolved in a half gallon of G-Ade over three hours.
I got good reports and I hope you do too.

This is funny. My entire family is laughing now. I am ringing my daughter in who is studying in Brazil. She and her roommates are laughing, too, especially since I have forwarded them pics of both the real and the fake Massimo Manca.

"Wait, Dad. I'm confused. Is the motorhome Massimo Manca the kicker or the high-colonic guy?"

And, you say the motorhome MM likes minivans??? Wtf?

It’s not that bad, except for not being able to sleep the night before wondering if you are going to fall asleep and literally “shit the bed”.

The worst/awkward part for me was having my very attractive female gastrointerologist handing photos of my clean and healthy “tract”, including color shots of my rectum, to my wife while I was still dozy and just wanted to “rip one” (they pump air into you).

It’s one thing to be called an “a-hole”, but it’s disconcertingly different to see your own. :)

My condolences to Amy!

I had my first colonoscopy maybe 5-6 years ago and my second maybe a year or two ago.

Same nice female doc both times. Second time when she walked in I was putting on the gown and getting ready. I said hi, nice to see you, sorry under these circumstances, etc. So she and her team got me ready and as I rolled over and assumed the position, before I was knocked out, she zinged me: “NOW I recognize you!”

Had to do it twice last year, as I had a non-cancerous polyp of a size that had to be removed in a hospital, not in the smaller clinic where the first exam was done.

Reminds me of another classic film moment...

Good luck tomorrow. Any illness' greatest ally is procrastination. Don't forget to add in a PSA test for your next blood work up.

MMII - Tomorrow will be a breeze.....wait, maybe I should re-phrase that.

Hopefully it’s scheduled for early in the morning so you don’t have to spend half the day wanting to hit the fridge. My first time I wasn’t smart enough to get an early morning appointment.....the second time I was!

Be careful of turbo loading after turbo laxing, Massimo. You don't want to endure a repeat performance at the restaurant restroom, it's much less appealing than at home in the confines and environs of your personal throne.

I have two older brothers who did the purge and pork, completely clean, one younger brother the same. I put it off until I had a situation that called for a ruling out type performance so I succumbed. I was fine, not everyone one is. Had I had a family history of issues I'd have done it much earlier.

Prudence is your friend and a darn nice looking nurse too.
 
MMII - 11:00AM Eastern and no report? Is your doc removing your tonsils too?

Or are you already at a luncheon buffet and doing your best Barron impression?

Sorry... just got back from breakfast with my wife... (3 pancakes, cheese+mushroom omelet+hashbrowns+toast&coffee, four cups of coffee... nearly at the tablecloth and napkins, too)...

The fentanyl was awesome...

Anyone who laid money down on ZERO POLYPS is a winner! I have the ass of a tenth-grader...

People are absolutely right that the prep/bowel-blasting and the fasting are, by far, the worst part of a colonoscopy ... the most uncomfortable thing about the procedure itself was getting my blood-pressure taken and the IV, which was nothing (and I’m a big baby)...

Nothing even to indicate that I had someone’s fist up my ass with a cam-corder and a soldering-iron (interpretation: unlike when I had the ol’ digital prostate exam (that one I felt for days) there is nothing going on down there that makes need to forgive “ those who trespass against us” )...

When i asked about taking a pro-biotic, this Highly recommended Israeli-trained gastroenterologist told me to not even bother with pro-biotics (the company I work for has entrants in that rapidly-growing product-category) citing that the best pro-biotic is human-feces (yay!), in fact, in extreme medical cases he does human-feces implants ... he mentioned there is a lab in Chicago that sells/ships frozen feces for this purpose, when specific bacteria are called for (good ta know) ... health claims from yogurt and beverage-based probiotics (eg: kombucha) are dubious, he said...

Also got a call from my boss... he informed me certain NCAA CFP sponsor with historically-annoying commercials is sending me and my wife to the SEC title game on Dec1

So you got your radiator flushed out. Good for another 200,000 miles.
