Well today I am flushing the pipes. They are sending cameras in from both ends tomorrow to look for potential problems. They already know about the ulcer but it has been 3 years since thay looked at it thru a scope. They already know about the diverticulosis. I have had that for over 16 years but never had a problem with it until this last year. Three bouts of diverticulitis had me saying enough! OK, maybe I need to change my diet now.
After the 3rd round of diverticulitis, I started thinking about the good idea of getting things scoped again. I remember getting a notice from my gastro doc almost 2 years ago that we should do the scopes again but I had been putting it off. Of course I had all the standard excuses; "too busy", "it'll be alright anyway" and "the proceedure ain't bad but the prep ain't fun". But then I read Pat's plea to the group and soon after read of his passing. OK. That was a shot over the bow! So after some other medical stuff, both the upper scope and a colonoscopy are on tomorrow.
RIP Pat. Though I never knew you.

They are sending cameras in from both ends tomorrow to look for potential problems. Separate cameras, I hope.   Good decision. Hoping for the best possible news. |

That's what I told my wife, said they were trying to cut back on expenses so use the same utensil. I suggested she insist on doing the upper end first. The nurse kicked me out of the prep room for some reason.  |

LOL The last time I had the scopes, the nurse told me she had heard that "same scope both ends" joke a few too many times already and did not want to hear it again. Bigwolf |

just got the probe on Monday....drinking the gallon of prep solution is absolutely the worst part.
Thank goodness it's only once every 5 years (so far).

I have no idea what a colonoscopy or endoscopy is like, They sprayed the gag reflex med in my mouth and I woke up in another room, apparently my intestines looked like a cheese pizza, (diverticulosis and some other big words) were discussed. been on 2000 mg sulfazine and prilosec ever since. glad I had it done, could have gotten a lot worse. Be not afraid! If you haven't had one, Do it!!  |

The doc told me it looked as clean as the tunnel of love. I told him I didn't swing that way. My wife blew coffee out of her nose. Made the whole thing worth it. Hoser  |
