Did you have your colonoscopy yet? How did it go? I was thinking about you. I know what it's like to go through one of those. I hope everything went well and you survived your fasting ok :-)

Thanks for asking! Blech! everything that could possibly go wrong did - even after 3 days of not eating anything but apple juice and chicken broth, my prep apparently still didn't turn out so well....so next time I get the 4-litre jug of oily, salty stuff I guess. He was also 2 hours late, but other than that it went fine (gotta like Valium and Demerol!). He took a bunch of biopsies, so now I just have to wait to see if they turn up anything abnormal. I'm still kind of crampy, and I'm not supposed to drive or sign legal papers for a full 24 hours, but I should be back to 100% by tomorrow!

Ugh! They were late doing mine, also. After all that, you just want to get it overwith as soon as possible! I'm sorry you have to drink the 4 liter crap next time. That sounds nasty! I hope everything turns out to be normal.

yeah, to be fair, he has squeezed me in a few times when I've been very sick but didn't have an appointment -and so I was probably the cause of some other poor, hungry schmuck waiting those times! Actually, after 3 days without food, I didn't even feel particularly hungry - and when I went out to eat afterwards I was surprised how little I wanted!
