How'd I totally missed that

?! I already am subscribed to so much, and I'm compulsive about not participating at all until I'm %100 caught up, so I've actually tried to avoid new threads for a while, but I'll certainly read that one start to finish. Thanks, Robin!
This is for those folk who may not like me very much. So I go to the hospital yesterday for a sigmoidoscopy, and I hear the word ....
"polyps"
Damn, That means an even worse word....
"colonoscopy".
Arrrghhhhhh! My reaction was something like this...

My dear Huntsman sister, I am the QUEEN of colonoscopies (you all didn't know you were amongst royalty this entire time

!). I've had FIVE of them (new GI docs like to do their own tests

), three upper endoscopies, a "capsule study" (you swallow this really cool, very fancy looking little camera and get load of x-rays as it makes its way through), and so much other FUN, FUN stuff since my colon began going bonkers nine years ago. Big echo on this one...the test itself is %100 nothing (if they put you out...hasn't always been the case for me

). The prep is not a blast, but stock up on clear broth, popsicles, jello, and it's not as bad as some folks make it out to be. Word to the wise - don't eat too heavy the next day, either. Trust me.
tnt56, Poke is a real beaut! Hope the COPD calms the heck down and leaves the two of you to your love affair

A friend of mine had a colonoscopy years ago. She had started drinking the stuff and had to go. Her husband was in the bathroom brushing his teeth, when she sat down to do her business. He said 'I figured that stuff would have started working by now'.. Her reply, 'I'm not ......!'
Um...yup...pretty much could be pretty stealth about it at the office, truth be told.
