I'm glad to hear it all went well, except for the green and red stuff coming out. Did you think it was Christmas or something?

I had a colonoscopy a year and a half ago. The prep was icky. I drank and drank and got more and more bloated, but nothing came out. And then I got terribly cold. And then it came out. And out. And out. But it was far from the worst thing I've ever gone through.

The next morning, I almost fainted when they took me from the waiting room to the place where they prep you. The nurse commented that I'm pretty small and they give everyone the same dose of that prep junk, so she thought I was probably badly dehydrated. She put the IV in right away and turned it on high and I felt better soon, so she was probably right about it being dehydration. At least the IV was in the right place!

I'll be interested to hear the result of the biopsy of the lesion in your small intestine.

I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
