My sister (who was the designated driver) and me arrived at the hospital. We were taken to the prep room where the nurse gave shoes and a hospital vest.
After I put them both on (My sister helped me with the vest) the nurse arrived and put some numb IV into me to numb the pain from the procedure. We both signed some documents. Then the nurse gave me the TV remote and I watched TV for a few minutes.
Then, 2 nurses, one male and one female wheeled me into the procedure room. I verified some information with the female. She, then hooked me up to the oxygen tank and injected some IV which put me to sleep for a few minutes.
A few minutes later I woke up in the prep room. Either the nurse or my sister (not sure which one) said "all done Edward"
We stopped by McDonald's to get some sausage biscuits. After which we went back to the house.
Things are back to normal this morning. The 24 hour window has passed and I plan on taking Bo to the lake later today.
BTW, the doctor did find a polyp in the colon. He has sent it to get examined however he told my sister he was 100% sure it wasn't cancerous.
We'll see how things go the next few days. I'm standing by in case I here from the doctor again. He is recommending I get colonoscopy every 3 to 5 years.
I’m glad it all went well and I pray the polyp will indeed be benign. I think the “prep” at home is 100% worse than the actual procedure! LOL!
Good idea to get out with Bo for a romp at the lake. It will do you both good! ;)
