Colonoscopy update...sorry for the delay...

[Guest guest]

Hi all...sorry I never got around to posting after my colonoscopy last

Thursday. The weekend was a whirlwind of activity. Anyway...

My doc said that for the most part everything looked very good. He

did have to biopsy a few sites and I'll go back in another week to get

those results. Keep your finger crossed. I'm expecting it to be

nothing, as the doc didnt' seem concerned. But, there is always a

little worry, especially since my family has the Non Polyp colorectal

cancer.

I go in for an ultrasound on the 23rd to check for gall stones etc.

I'm still in pain and feeling sick so hopefully we'll find an answer

soon. =/

The weird thing is that I was awake and mostly alert through the

entire colonoscopy and endoscopy. I mean alert enough that I remember

it and watched it on the screen. Well, I was turned away from the

screen for the endoscopy. The endo was miserable...way worse than the

colonoscopy. It hurt like hell and I gagged on it the whole time. I

was trying to tell them I needed more versed but, my efforts were

thwarted by the stupid thing down my throat. Ugh. I plan to discuss

this with my doc in my follow up. I don't think there is any reason

they should have done that while I was awake and alert. I was in

recovery for about 10 minutes (long enough for them to get three blood

pressures) and then walked out (with my husband) and 2 blocks away to

where the car was parked on my own. Obviously I lived through

it...but I just feel like I shouldn't have had to go through it like

that...talk about discouragement to go back and have my nextone done

in 1-3 years. Ugh...

Sorry to complain...such a trivial thing to gripe about to all of

YOU. =/

Thanks for all the prayers and support. I'll let ya know how the

biopsies come back. =)
