Leave it to the gastro to bring bad news. Sorry you have to have the dreaded test (and drink the incongruously named GoLightly?). Praying they won't have any "news" for you. |

Geeez how much can a person take. I have to have one after 10 years and have lots of new info to make it easier, I will get it to you tomorrow. I have lots of questions to ask my Dr. when I see him on the 8th of April, the prep is dangerous on someone my age but my GP is urging me to get it since I have a family history of Colon Cancer. I've given it lots of thought for a year now so I will most likely go ahead with it.
Sleep well and only think of the Great News you had today.  |
I know - right? Just burst my bubble from the good news but good! Trouble with colonoscopy prep is I tend to get very, very low blood pressure from just even bad diarrhea so I hate having to do the prep part for the scope(well, doesn't everybody!) The test itself is going to be a little tricky this time as I had air outside bowel (the peritoneum) a couple of times in the past year and a half and was hospitalized each time to wait for sepsis and surgery but without ever getting septic and surgery wasn't required, so doc said it could rupture during the scope so the antibiotics are required. Yuck! I'll have to be on pre-op antibiotics for three days before and of course IV antibiotics during the scope. Except for that issue, the scope is just nothing compared to the dang prep for those of us who lose fluid quickly and get hypotensive. Oh, well, at least I don't have to worry about it for a while!
Now, I think I'm going to go off to bed and 'worry about it tomorrow', as Scarlett always said!!!
Thanks you guys for those prayers and well wishes!!! Hugs to everyone.
