You are certainly going to be all tuned up and ready to go after all of those checkups!!!!! Sorry that you have to have all of these things done. It's no fun.

Well, your month is planned out. Will there be time for Thanksgiving and Christmas?
It will feel so great to get it all over with.
Thinking of you.

I had to drink that stuff you have to drink to clean you out before a colonoscopy and I will never.... I MEAN NEVER ever do that again. Every bit I drank down, came right back up...so what's the point. NEVER EVER EVER!!

Gee Janet thanks for the warning! I am thrilled looking forward to drinking that poision now...lol

Btw guys I am a big wuss when it comes to changing my bandage on toe and cant do it. So my darling son is doing it, but everytime he removes bandage I cringe in pain. Because its stuck to wound and he is not applying enough antibodic ointment... torture !! I tell ya... I just found out they sell non stick guazes.. I am buying them tomorrow...

[DianaB]

Sorry, Gina. I do know how that feels because I smashed a finger really, really bad years ago and the bandage stuck to it too. The doctor came in and just jerked it off.......well, I called him a turkey buzzard!!! He said that he'd never been called that before!!!!

[judy]

A turkey buzzard! I have to remember that for the next person who gets me annoyed!

Oh, I HATE that stuff! I have a hard time keeping it down too. And, it makes me sick.....the stuff I drank last time was called "Go Lightly"....who makes up these names?????

Sandy, I am sorry for all that you're going through. Don't worry about talking about it here, we don't think you're a complainer. Sometimes you just have to vent about it!!

I had to drink that "Go Lightly" stuff when I was in the hospital - it was the MOST disgusting thing I've ever had!!

[Janet]

I wasn't kidding....LOL

You got it wrong! You're not supposed to throw it up - it's supposed to come out the other end! I get flavored Go Lightly. I think it's lime. I don't think I need to go for another 3 years. Who knows what flavors they'll have by then. I don't mind it. I just do it and get it over with. Although, I will eat or drink almost anything as long as it's not moving.

Sandy, I also have had a couple of polyps (benign), ulcers, acid reflux and slight diverticulosis. My doctor said that's they are just caused by aging as long as the polyps are benign. Don't eat peanuts. They can mess with the diverticulosis.
