Colonoscopy went well this morning. No polyps and no cancer! I did have some internal and external hemorrhoids (which I have had for several years - no biggie) and I had some diverticula (but not inflamed, so no problem). Thankful to God for the good report, and that I didn't have to stay in limbo waiting for results!
Getting the IV in was brutal. Two different people had to try, and they both put on the tightest tourniquets I have ever seen! I'm always pretty hard to get an IV into, but with having done the colon prep, I was slightly dehydrated which added to the problem.
When they put in the sedative into the IV line, it burned like my hand was on fire! They said it doesn't bother some people at all, but I had a REALLY hard time waiting for the sedative to finally kick in (which probably only took about six seconds).
Other than that, it was a breeze.
Had a Diet Coke with a glass full of ice and a straw waiting for me in a cooler in the car! Had one more glass when I got home, but am now switching over to get in my last six bottles of water for the day. I know some of my followers are dead set against me having DC, but I'll get there - all in a matter of time. PBPWMGINFWMY. Remember that from buttons many years ago? Please Be Patient With Me, God is Not Finished With Me Yet.
That about sums it up. Sorry to be posting so many times in a day. Just thought y'all might want to know how the procedure went.
