The Clean Colon Club

Howdy gang...hope you had a great weekend.  How many got the day off today for Columbus day?  (me)  I wanted to report a patting-myself-on-the-back event today...I got my first colonoscopy.  With my family history, it was important to start screenings early and tho I am a few years past when the dr. wanted me to do it (seven!) at least I did it.

Same procedure as for an egd except for the colon cleansing.  Yuck, yuck, yuck.  And you'd think that with clean as a whistle empty intestines I'd get on the scale this morning with a fabulous weigh-in. Nope!  There must be a lot of sodium in the stuff you drink for prep cause there's no way I gained 4# by drinking clear liquids this weekend.  LOL 

They removed four small and one medium polyp today and the biopsy results should be back in a week or two.  Nobody seemed concerned so I'm not worried.  Glad I had it doneand feel it was a good, proactive thing to do to take care of my good health. 

Now to get rid of the headache from the liquid diet and anesthesia!

Definitely not fun but something that makes you feel good about taking care of your health.  Get it over with and you'll be glad you did.

You have a good week too.

Glad that you got those little "buggers" out of your body!!!   Hope that you get results soon!
