    Big Day Tomorrow

    I get to play catcher tomorrow morning for my colonoscopy. Figure I'll let everyone gets head start on the jokes. Seriously though, something's wrong. I've lost 28lbs since the start of September. I've got a constant stomach ache that started months ago and gets worse all the time. I'm to the point I pretty much hate everyone and everything. Scope tomorrow, hopefully they find what the problem is, and there's a fix for it.
  2. Had my first colonoscopy today. I'm almost 48; typically they wait until your 50's but my dad died of colon cancer at 55, so I was overdue. In the end they found 3 small polyps which is fairly normal; they'll biopsy to see if they are pre-cancerous which doesn't seem to change things -- I'll go for another anal probe in 3-5 years (probably 3 because of my dad). For those who haven't had the joy of this experience, the actual colonoscopy is nothing -- they knock you out, you wake up, you go home. The "prep day" the day before... ugh, that sucks. No food except broth or clear liquids (not red or purple) all day. The preps differ, but mine was to take 4 Dulcolax tablets at noon, then from 6-8PM drink 64 ounces of Powerade mixed with an entire bottle of Miralax. Then sit on the toilet for the better part of 2 hours as ever-clearer liquid shoots out of your ass. Good times. I met several cute nurses along the way today, but the actual PA who helped with the probing was a dood named Hans. Hans was a strapping young guy; I'm sure many of the ladies who have gone there have gotten knocked out dreaming of Hans doing more than sticking a probe up their ass. Anyway, PSA time: if you are 50+ or have a history of colon cancer in your family and you haven't had a colonoscopy yet, go do it. If any of these polyps were pre-cancerous, I may have just saved my life by going and getting them removed. Also on a sad related note; a daughter of a family friend was dying of colon cancer -- my MIL sent an email this morning that she died yesterday (that was a bit of a buzz kill going into my own test). She was only 36 yrs old and had been battling it for 3 years. If you see any blood in your poop, or apparently clotted blood especially, go get that shiot checked out.
