It is the worst part.
My husband had TWO colonoscopies.

The first time he was so friggen hungry, (After hours spent in the bathroom) that he snuck half a tuna sandwich at midnight. Well, there’s no sneaking, the Doctor SAW it.
Not to mention the agony of having to drive almost 2 hours to the nearest VA for the procedure.
So a month later he had to do the whole thing over. Thank God for me and my nose, he drove up the day before and stayed the night and did the prep in the VA hospital!

It really wasn’t that bad until they started probing deeper, and the pain wasn’t “down there,” but in my abdomen. Luckily, they were almost finished at that point, so I didn’t have to put up with the pain too much. Afterwards, I was fine.

Ananke, I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I’ve heard, though, that colon cancer is the easiest to treat. I think the actual procedure was nowhere near as bad as the “cleansing” part. I could see Naomi wearing a pair of these down the runway. Of course, they’d probably have a design by Vera Wang on them, or something.

Ugh, my father has had colon cancer twice so colonoscopies have been a regular part of his life for many years. He’s had to go through this process soooo many times it isn’t funny. They definitely want to make sure you’re clean as a whistle inside before they take a look-see. I have to say you looked hawt in those Depends. I can so totally see Naomi Campbell sporting a pair any day now. :d

Depends ought to come in colors. You know, just in case you feel like flashing someone.

mamazilla, woohoo! What does that say about my blogging that it brings the great mama out of hibernation??? Then again, who can resist Depends porn? :p I’m glad “everything came out ok,” too. I actually lost 5 lbs.!

and i’m glad that… “everything came out ok”.

wah wah wah…
