An update on the Colonoscopy

[RATTER15]

OK, so Ive been to the Hospital, I am booked in for my Colonoscopy next Thursday, today was a pre assessment type thing, take some more blood, sticking a little telescope up the Jacksie etc. Next week I got to take all that stuff to clear me out for the full monty :-( Oh Joy!!!!

The worst feeling is 'I haven't shifted enough' (as it were). You will have but it doesn't feel like it.
Trust me, you will have shifted all of it.

I know it's not a pleasant thing to discuss, soft loo roll and vaseline as has been suggested.

You WILL be fine ratter xx

Oh poor you Ratter. I would have posted earlier but could not see through my tears. When your last post appeared in latest posts it was preceded by one from Bogtrotter - honestly. I can barely type this now for the memory. AB has some wonderful moments. :o) Just remember next week - do not blame anything on your beautiful canines - neither they nor Carakeel will believe/forgive you ♥

good luck ratter. don't eat chicken!

Lady-Janine, why no chicken?

I got to have 3 days off work for this Grrr, that's the worst part!!

As I work 2-10 shifts, I have to take all this get up and gogo juice in the afternoon and evening of the preceding day, Whilst we have many toilets at work, I cant always drop every thing and run and by the sounds of things I may need to, and I cant work the day after as I have been told I cant work due to the fact that I'm not allowed to sign official documents, drive, operate machinery etc etc for 24 hours and I tend to be as high as a kite after anesthetic for a day or two. I'm not happy!

The anaesthetic is not compulsory. I have had one with and one without. It is not that bad as long as the person driving knows what they are doing.

[RATTER15]

Scotsman, you think the guy driving in the back door might get lost!!!!!! The anaesthetic is essential, OK!!!

It is getting round the corners where driving skill matters:-)
