Just had a lower scope on Oct 17th, another lower scope Oct 22nd for a patch job.And an upper scope on Oct 25th.
I spent six days in close proximity with a couple of dozen patients & family getting familiar to their new colostomy bags. http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=3780
The crying, sobbing wailing and looks of embarrassed anguish from patients & family was horrid. I would rate getting scoped every six months in front of my Mother-in-law and the Reverend better than getting cancer and having to get a colostomy bag. Even though I was one of the rare ones with complications from the scoping. I'm still going back for another scoping someday just to ensure not ever having to wear a colostomy bag. b.t.w. I just read my report today and it was likely scar tissue from an appendectomy the physician thought was a polyp. Test results were o non malignant. There was even a colour photo of the questionable secum area in my file. The 1st scoping is the worst, afterwards you have no dignity or pride left too loose. Don't be worried about the staff. They have seen 100's of both fat and skinny *sses. It depends on the medical facility & the physician. Some are human and some are not. The humane ones knock you out. 24 hrs before the purge only eat or drink chicken soup,broth and gatoraid. The go-lighty, peglyte etc is a mix of every kind of non toxic and semi toxic salts that will mix with water. It's more palatable if chilled very cold. There was some tractor antifreeze mixed with it to sweeten it up some,propylene glycol on the container's label. I'll never look at a jug of anti freeze the same way again. You need to "run 100% clear" several times or there is no use getting scoped. You can't drink too much water either late afternoon and into the evening. You will be hooked to an IV line and a saline solution drip. You will be wheeled into the OR and if you don't need glasses to see. There will be a large color monitor or two. A metal cabinet with a glass jar catch can and some joy sticks similar to a backhoe. They will plug about 6-8ft of turbine engine or pipe inspection scope tooling into the cabinet for power and control. The scope is about 1cm in diameter with a video camera on the end, a sampling grab tool, a cauterizing wire and even the ability to insert a hyperdermic needle to inject medication where they see fit. It's the same tool used for both bottom up and top down. I assume the tool is well washed off between uses. You will be given stage 1 sedative to make you less apprehensive and asked to roll onto your port side. This is the definition of "being left with your *ss hanging out". About now you will get stage 2 sedative and after "feeling dumb as a box of rocks" for 5 seconds,it's lights out. What seems like 5 seconds later you are waking up in the recovery room and pharting like thunder. And the staff are cheering you on to make more noise. I was on the computer in the hospital library 1hr after waking from my upper scope.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
