Well, I had my first colonoscopy this morning, and I loved it. For real. I loved the prep and its corresponding hours of diarrhea, I loved the procedure, I loved the anesthesia, and I love having a day off work. The only two things I did not like were the taste of the prep medicine and the feeling of the IV in my hand. Maybe it was the lack of food in my system or maybe it was because I had very low expectations for the whole thing but I was in a slight state of euphoria for the entire time.
Also, I would like to give a big shout out to (sorry MJ) propofol. Damn, I was asleep. I wouldn't think that I would sleep through someone jamming a camera into my poop shoot, but I sure enough did. My first time on anesthesia and I give it two solid thumbs up.
I've had a bag of ravioli in the freezer downstairs for many months now and I've been waiting for the right time to enjoy it, and I have chosen right now as that time and it is G O O D.
I debated posting some colon pictures, but I'm not sure if there's any demand out there for them. So I've decided not to. But if anybody wants to see some pictures of (the inside of) my colon, please leave a comment and I'll get them right up in the next post. And yes, the "retroflexed view in the rectum" is included.
