Ok Gracie...I just seen the issue with the insurance...still, you should not have been made to go through that.

Ok and alrighty then!!!! Children, BEHAVE.
I am home. I am gassy but otherwise...just fine. Was I asleep? HAYELL NO. They just gave me a bit of demerol. Did it hurt? You but your ass (well, MY ass) it hurt. I was in a semi la la land but it was a concsious one. The rail on the bed is bent now because that is what I was holding on to for dear life. It felt like childbirth, but in my butt area. Cramps you wouldn't believe....then 3 pairs of hands pushing my guts this way and that and more drilling and air pumped and I am ARRRRRGGGGing like crazy and they are all saying "almost done! Hang in there! Almost done!".
The guard rail is now bent towards the center of the table because the demerol made my wrist joints stop hurting enough to bend the fuck out of it as they tortured my colon.
I remember most of it but not all. The cramping is what probably zapped me out of my supposed dream state. It was not fun. I also remember between the "get ready, hon, almost done but have a short way to go yet" that I began to chant Ohm Mah Knee Pawd May Hum over and over and one of the nurses bending over me was whispering to the others "omg. She is speaking in tongues". I still had enough brain cells firing to briefly think about sitting up and pointing at all of them with the Hex Evil Eye sign while chanting, just to see what would happen but I didn't because the doc is from India and he knew what I was saying..and why. I heard him snort in my right ear after the nurse said that.
Next thing I knew...I was told I was all done and hubby was waiting for me. And farting a lot. And leaking a bit.
Never was told what was found, if anything. Nobody said if any polyps were located or removed. Nothing. So..I guess I have to call him in a day or so to ask him what he saw while in there.
Will I ever do this again? NO. Was the prep worse than the procedure....actually, yes.
Unbelievable Gracie! Who the hell is your doc, and his staff? You should have went through it PAIN FREE..period. Every colonoscopy I have (twice a year) I get the 'twilight cocktail' and am off to Wonderland for the duration. You are the first I have heard of having a bad experience....is this insurance related, perhaps? Could it be they gave you the 'discount' colonoscopy because your insurance decided you'd do 'fine' without normal sedation?
I am angry for you, Gracie...if I were you, I would look into it and find out why the hell they put you through that!
When I left...there were 2 people in the waiting room. I looked at them and said "you will feel every inch".

I don't like the idea.
I have serious issues with finger-waves as well.

Both a digital exam, and a colonoscopy can be life saving, Muddy...

Wow. That wasn't very nice.
I sent in a stool sample a week prior to today. Came back ok. Whew!
I am presuming they found something and it was sent to the lab...hence me having to call next week for the results of what he found.

It's not very nice that I was told I would be OUT and not feel a thing. Which means they said the same thing to everyone else. I learned the painful way. I wanted those two to be prepared that it isn't going to be a picnic. I didn't say it to be mean. I said it in sympathy for what they were fixing to experience.
