Karl Childers gets a Colonoscopy

[lostchild]

My last one, went through that enjoyable gallon of prep. Scheduled for 9:30 am.
So, I had an enlarged prostate that decided to go into overdrive that morning, swelled enough to squeeze off my urethra. Can’t pee. 9:00, sitting in waiting room about to burst. Go to desk, explain to nurse, she says if I can get back by 10:30 they’ll squeeze me in, otherwise happy trails.
Race to urologist, nurse gives me crash course in self-catherization, hands me a bag of catheters and sends me off with best wishes.
Get back just under the gun, got my butt-reaming done. Polyps, see ya in three.
So, I self-cathed 5 times a day for 6 months, got tired of that game (try to maintain a sterile environment in a public bathroom stall) agreed to a mini-TURP procedure (Which I can highly recommend).
Finally got scheduled (yay!) at our new digs, year late, got to go next month.

I had the misfortune of having a colonoscopy fully conscious, no sedation, no pain meds, nothing. F’in doctor told me it was standard practice and this was long before the internet, so I had no idea. NEVER AGAIN.

Was that at the Midtown clinic where they advertised your first colonoscopy was free? ( Jk)

He didn’t even buy me dinner.

Man. I am 64 and had one at 60. They said see you when you are 65.
My wife had it 3 years ago. I never ever seen her so mad as when they woke her up. She said she wanted to go back to sleep and finish her dream.
Damn prep is horrible. The part about being on the pot is true. I got off and had to run back and hop on the pot.

I ended up standing in the shower, and that's all I'm going to say about that.
