I had another colonoscopy yesterday. After my bout with diverticulius the Doc wanted to check things out.
The worst part is preparing, the procedure is easy. You know you've been there too much when the nurses remember your name :-\
I was clean as clean could be smiley_smug01
Yeah, having those little procedures are the highlight of my day. My last one took about 30" with 4 hour wait to start. Seems it was a popular item that day. :D
Good outcome, Steve. 8) Keep it up.
Norm
Good results.
Now you can't run on empty, so we better have lunch soon. 8)
They shoulda found somethin', 'cause if they didn't, it means you're a perfect a-hole. ;)
Just a bad medical joke.....sorry :)
LOL !!!!
ps. Glad yer okay, Steve!
Can't say you are full of it anymore. :D
Glad all is well.

I'm glad I talked him out of sending out those invitations.
How about a reality TV show? :D

We all knew that before the procedure ;D
Looking at the pictures today...as I don't remember looking at them the other day...you can plainly see the spot where I had the infection. It looks kind of mundain now but it sure caused some pain then!
i found the best thing about those procedures was the VERSAID that they administered before the procedure.
Growing old ain't for wimps......
Now today it's off to the hospital for a chemical stress test and then possibly right into the cath lab.
Sometimes ya wonder......
Good luck with all that Burlkraft.
You have to wonder how good for you those chemicals are. They bring them out in a lead bottle.
Good luck Steve. :)
Fingers crossed. smiley_peace ;D
Leave the nurse alone too. I don't care how good looking he is.
;D
QuoteYou have to wonder how good for you those chemicals are. They bring them out in a lead bottle.
Now if he can get the lead bottle and shoot that into a tree it would surely make a super burl
Hope thing went well, Steve.
Steve, sure hope they got it right. !
Hope they didn't keep him. ::)
Much better if they threw him back. :)
He's home. I made him call me when he got home so I didn't have to worry about him all night or his male nurse. ;)
He's whooped.
Fortunately we are not all in this together (not speeking for the male nurse of course)
.... but as Red Green would say
We are pullin for ya! Hope they find out you are good to go!
Expecting a full report, minus the male nurse issue, when he's strong enough to type. :D Hope it turned out as well as your colonoscopy!
Well I survived! Had a great bunch of folks working on me yesterday. I had 2 of these tests before. They didn't seem so bad before, this time I really thought I was gonna kick it there for a second. I couldn't have any caffeine for 24 hours before. When I get there they tell me why. The antidote to the stress medicine is caffeine! They put the drug in my I V and within seconds I couldn't breathe and came right up off the table. They had a nurse by my side to calm me down. She was young and had very warm, soft hands as she was telling me it was gonna be fine. They seemed to get the info they needed and just as fast as they came the symptoms faded away. Then I got a diet Shasta cola (no Pepsi because of budget cuts) and I felt great...exhausted, but great ;D They didn't keep me and I'll know the test results in a couple a days. I don't have any neat pictures of this one, but I could always up load the colonoscopy ones :D :D :D :D
So Beenthere it looks like we're on for Fish at The Avenue on Friday. I'm sure Chris will lookin' for us at 11:30 8) 8) 8)
Glad to hear the nurses are young and have soft warm hands. 8) Good to se you back here . ;)
Is that fried fish?
Only way to get any taste out of it, with half lb of butter added. ;D :D
Glad you had a nice nurse lady this time. ;D
Great!!!
We're good to go. 8)
Watch that diet!! I didn't know that a fish was a plant. :D

I heard she had an Adam's Apple. :)
LOL! You guys are a riot. Steve, glad to hear you weathered yet another procedure. You know we are all pullin' for ya.
Steve uses that word "plant" pretty loosely....
Yes like , plant his fork in da fish, dip da fish into batter, then plant da fish down on da grill type of plant. pull_smiley ;D
Steve, glad to hear everything turned out ok. Ah, yes I have fond memories of young, pretty, warm, soft nurses. But like crusty old Walter says, "All you can do is run to the end of your chain and bark." :-\

I just had the look down and look up thing but I am a bigger a hole than they thought because the endoscope wasn't quite long enough (they said it might have something to do with my hiatus hernia) so I had to return for a CT Colonoscopy, that showed nothing much so last week they had me swallow a camera and get hooked up to a sensor array for 8 hours while thousands of pictures were taken. I'm hoping to get a CD with the pics, I already have one of my cardiac stent installation (Very interesting) and the CT Endoscopy (couldn't understand a thing). Hopefully, one day they will discover where all my red blood cells are escaping, I really am getting fed up with this lack of energy. >:(

Bill's seen me in action. I found that all life on earth is based on plants and water. Fish live in water and some eat plants. I eat fish. A small child can plainly see that connection. Now if those fish are fried in peanut oil...well what is a peanut? I know , I know it's a tubor, but it's still a plant. And besides me and Beenthere always have slaw with our fish...HELLO!!!
Cabbage...carrots! We always have a diet Pepsi and that's zero calories.
I would feel well prepaired to take this debate to my dietician and win!! :D :D :D
Well it seems you came out hole whole from the procedure anyway. ;D
Cattle eat plants too. By your logic, doesn't that make steak plant based? Glad everything came out OK. I am sure the medical profession can dream up more tests with which to invade you. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Glad you asked that one Doc. I was headed there too. ;)

He did mention one time wether I was nuts and that maybe we should talk about that.
We won't be talking to any of them guys. I'm gonna keep all my creepy secrets to myselfand Jill and Jeff :D :D :D :D
