“:” oscopy

I know, that’s too much information already. The reason we are waiting until Tuesday to go get the 3 kitties is because I had a colonoscopy today.


Colonoscopy is the minimally invasive endoscopic examination of the large colon and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus.(Oh, way too much information.)

The procedure itself is a piece of cake. They give you nice drugs that make you doze off and then they wake you up and it’s over. The preparation, drinking 2 regimens of something called “Movi-prep” to clean you out, was worse than the procedure. After the procedure your system is full of gas (air) and it is every guy’s dream. Everyone encourages you to pass that gas! That’s exactly what you do for the rest of the day. The good news is it doesn’t smell. Oops, too much information again.


Tomorrow it is another kitty trek.
