TODAY WAS THE DAY! A QUICK UPDATE

Well yesterday was rough, not going to lie.  The stuff I had to drink wasn't all that bad in the end but it sure worked.  I must have been up ten times in the night.  But the real tough deal was going on in my head.  I am such a big baby.  I was so scared of what was going to be said after the scope.

So I got up super early this morning and showered and dressed and cleaned the kitchen and Kathy arrived right on time, bless her.  It just felt so good having her along, reassuring me.  My stomach was doing flip flops and I wasn't even hungry, even after two days of not eating.  I am definitely NOT a stress eater...quite the opposite.

So off we went and before you could say Bob's your uncle I was on a rolly bed under a warm banket having an iv put in.  They could NOT find a vein.  Finally they called a specialist who put it in the crook of my arm, not the normal spot but it worked perfectly.

And I must say, I felt and remember nothing.  And everyone was so awesome and friendly.  When I woke up I was sitting in the bed in recovery with cookies and cheese and gingerale in front me.  What more could one want????  After a few minutes Kathy arrived, in time to hear what the doctor had to say.  And its a good thing because later I remembered nothing!

We then went to Whitespot for a breakfast.  I ate the Nat Baily special....two pancakes, two over easy eggs, two sausages, two bacon and hash browns.  Mmmmmmmm...I was so euphorically relieved and happy.  Then she brought me home.

After about an hour the phone rang and it was the Dr.'s office, setting up appointments and surgery!!!  What????  I didn't remember any of that part!  So I phoned Kathy and bless her heart she did!  Apparently there was a really big polyp, a suspicious one, that he couldn't snip.  They did a biopsy and sent it away for pathology.  But it has to come out, along with a portion of my colon.  So that operation is set for June 17th and any follow up will depend on what pathology finds out.  So Its a really good thing I went in when I did.  As for the actual colonoscopy I would go through that any day!  So easy and everyone was so pleasant and happy.

Now I am in my rocking chair with Molly on top of me and I am fading fast...TTY

PS:  thank you all you wonderful people that sent me so much info and support.  You were all right!
