Thank You for Navigating New Territory Somewhere Else
Colonoscopy.
There,
I wrote it out loud.
This is on the new list of my least favorite words, which all begin with C.
My body has a message for all those words:

Brought to you by words that begin with B.
LEA KELLEY SAYING THANK YOU FOR... 
Ah, but you have “opened up” to us in a way. 🙂
Now there is a word I really didn’t want to see. I strongly suspect it’s a word my doc will mention when I see her in a couple of weeks. It has something to do with birthdays… and a certain age.
eeeewwwww.
The only bad part about the dang things is the prep for the day before. Just plan on never being further than 7 feet from your toilet for that day. The day of? The people are funny and practiced as hell at making you feel at ease, you get nice drugs, and wake up feeling fine, if a little hungry.
It’s kind of a snap…where the build up and worry is much worse than the experience.
Word to the wise, it’s not good to splurge on a Mexican lunch, complete with appetizers and dessert afterward. Your pristine digestive system will react with a bit of a shocking revolt. No matter how hungry you are…go easy.
Think of it as complete (and trendy) “cleanse” and expect to be surprised by the understanding and funny competence of the doctors, nurses, techs, and rest of the crew. What a job!
