Thanks for having my back, Dapper.
I have a terrible case of potty humor, so nothing along those lines could possibly offend me. Although, I draw the line at sharing exploding crappers. Now that's just yucky!!! Welcome OOAK. Sorry you are facing such challenges but we all need to make the decisions that feel best for us in the long run. |

Colonoscopy is the word for today.
Post Uterine Cancer~ 7 year annual work up includes the Colonoscopy OF COURSE...
In Outpatient Surgery, on a gurney talking to the next in line in on a gurney beside me, it was her first time and she was really nervous. I have had cancer, so my nervousness with her is well hidden as we are just outside the surgery suites, and I didn't want her bolting on my account... Not the time to say the C word to someone about to have this procedure.... the Anesthesiologist came by to introduce himself. "Propofol ? " I asked, and the Anesthesiologist and I agreed that is what I wanted and was getting to "sleep" during my colonoscopy. His and My drug of choice, no hangover, no problems and it's over fast. I was next now. They wheeled me in, my Doc said "Hi, and turn on your side please" ....It WAS fast, I came to in what seemed like seconds. My Gastroenterologist is leaning over me. ""Well, your bowel is boring. Nothing to report, and thanks for following the prep. I'll see you in 5 years, unless you want to come back sooner" HAAAHHHhhhhh Happy Miralax to you, or whatever you need to do, and to all a good day, and night. Alrighty then, it's not everywhere you can discuss cleansing of colons, and surgery with light heartedness~~~~ but , we are a special group. To all those coming in to visit, to support one another, and to post I send chicken broth. Doc had me on nothing but clear liquids for 24 hours before my colonoscopy. I had to drink 64 oz. of liquid with Miralax powder, wait 4 hours then 32 oz with Miralax powder. So, I bought chicken and vegetable broth, 6 cans of each~~ I still have 5 of each... IT WAS Ghastly to just drink broth. and yes we are full of crap, as the scale told me that Miralx morning. I have gone from Endometrial Cancer Clinical Trial checkups once a week seven years ago in May, to now seeing the Oncologist once a year. I wish you all well on this journey and the trip around the Planet, and happy bowel prep too. |

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I'm sorry I brought my stress to the group. I was having a pain-filled night and felt like poop (No pun intended LOL). I'm usually very upbeat and the cheerleader of the group. Just couldn't summon the energy last night. Again, my apologies and love and light to all you courageous people

OOAK hugs to you! Is natural to feel down once in a while but you seem to bounce back quickly. Tommi so glad to read your doing well! My hopes are that you have it beat! I do not have the big C but it does run in my genes and I have seen family members go thru the trials and tribulations that all of you here on this thread have and are going thru and I salute you for your courage and ability to keep on keeping on.

OOAK, no need to apologize! We are only human and some days we just feel like shit (pun intended!) Hang in there, love! Tommi, you are such an inspiration! I love reading your posts. I have my Rx on the fridge at home but I don't think it's for Miralax. All I know is the powder has to be mixed with a gallon of water and drunk over the course of six hours. ACK!! And then nothing but clear liquid and absolutely nothing red in color. I'm supposed to drink extra fluids since I'm on the small size and they don't want me to get dehydrated. I opted to do twilight sleep since I loathe the way I feel coming out of anesthesia. The last few times I have woken up almost near tears. It just has a weird effect on me. I was emailing with my aunt this morning and she told me she is allergic to the Demerol/Versed combination they typically use for twilight sleep...so now I don't know what to do since the location I go to is based on what type of anesthesia you opt for. My last two hospital stays I have had Morphine post surgery and while it did make me itchy, I didn't have any negative reaction to it. I also have a hysterectomy question for those who've gone through the procedure. I continue to have mild bleeding and lots of mild pulling and jabs of pain where my uterus once was...well, and ovaries, too. My doctor said it could be from scar tissue forming but I'm wondering what others' experiences might be...especially with the bleeding/spotting. It always happens out of the blue! |

You most likely have the prep HalfLytely....comes in half gallon jug, ya mix with water to the fill line on it.....comes with a Dulcolax 5mg tablet you take first...then begin the 8 oz of HalfLytely followed with 8 oz. water..til the stuff is all gone..then do two glasses of water..then NPO (nothing by mouth) after MN....til after test....a really good idea, to be sure one is super clean in GI tract is to do clear liquids for the two days before test...the day before test and day of test....Jus' sayin'....smiles TOMMI: CONGRATS, buddy!!!

Clay-
Is it fair to say that the colonoscopy was clear, then?

I will attempt to post...again
Hey all you brave warriors!!! I wrote out a post last night..computer froze up for some reason..and I lost it..by then I was frustrated, tired, more like exhausted, so I said fu get about it..lol.
So I am up really early...for me..and decided to leave a note...I appreciate each and every one fo you..and I know that you each deal with your own battles daily...so I am in awesome company.... I had the endoscopy...and will have to have another..after I get a CT Scan of abd/pelvis this am...with and without contrast....and will know more when we get the results of this. I am seeing my oncologist the first time in the am..and I will REALLY have to be up way earlier than this..I have to leave my home at 515am, drive to the friend who is driving me to appt..and travel another hr and a half to get to oncologist's office...but it's is all good....smiles... The endoscopy did reveal a mass in the bowel someplace..and he wasn't able to proceed further....so a metal clip was attached to it, the mass was "tattooed" with blue ink...and this is two fold...1..make it more visible on CT Scan and show where it is exactly in gut, and 2. when he does a repeat endoscopy, he will know he has already seen this one..and to help distinguish from any new stuff that I know he WON'T find....smiles....I am tired this am..slept about 4 hrs...but I will get a nap in this afternoon..yummm..love a late afternoon nap! I am in a good mind space...and I am going to fight this, just a lil hitch in my giddy up..and something I WILL overcome. I am sorry I didn't post yesterday...I know you all were waiting to hear...I did try and got tired with computer acting up...lol..so...anyway I am off to get nuclear'ed...as I say..when I do get with someone..she won't have any trouble finding me..I will be the one glowing in the dark!!!....and I so hope it won't be Neon Pink...lol...chartreuse I am guessing..would that qualify me as a shrek??? Cool...now to find "my" Fiona!!!! I heart you all...have a most awesome day..I am.. ETA: I fell off the curb the am of my endoscopy, and have a nasty 4 inch gash on my left elbow...unable to be sutured as skin is ripped and shredded....and had to go on to scan with a bloody, ripped open elbow..I cleaned it in bathroom at hospital with soap and water and surg, nurse irrigated wound with saline..and dressed it..talk about sore...anyway it is still sore but will be fine. I did get a cortisone shot in my achey left knee yesterday...so is feeling better this am..yea, I am a "mess" BUT I am a worthy mess..and I am tough!!! smiles...

Congratulations on doing the big things. claybaby. Glad you went through with it, and YOU ARE doing the follow through stuff. So, you don't need that stuff hanging around in there, and you are seeing specialists that will take care of it. Yes Dapper, time flies .I think the Planet is spinning faster and we just don't know it. This thread gets it. |

I was a care giver
Hi all, I am new here and saw this thread. Thanks for whoever started it.
Two years ago in March we lost my dad to a rare form of kidney cancer. My mom's cousin was there one day a week to help, my daughter was there one day a week to help, my younger sister and I were there two days a week each. My mom was working so there was no doubt that since he was home with Hospice we would be there so she could still work. I was there Thurs. evenings and Saturdays. My mom was with my dad everyday after work. She slept on the couch so if he needed anything at night or had to get to the bathroom she could help him. He had a hospital bed in the living room. She never once babied him, just talked to him as she normally would. They were close but his last few months brought them closer. My dad hated to "bother" us as he would say. One day after having to clean him after he had an accident on the way to the toilet, he kept apologizing to me because I had to do that for him. I told him he did for us when we couldn't do for ourselves, now it is our turn to help him. We do what we do for you because we love you. My dad cried that day. It was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. It was maybe three weeks before he died. Not once did my dad complain about his pain, he was always upbeat and also fun when he was on his pain meds...LMAO We had so many laughs with him. My dad died with dignity. He was my hero. The only regret I have is not telling him the things I wanted to. He did know I loved him and appreciated him. |

Thanks for stopping by KimbaYLRF. What a great post about love and support. I am so glad you were able to spend time with him during his illness. I know even if we don't get to say all the things we want to, our loved ones know from our eyes and our hearts, how very much they mean to us, and that we will miss them sooo. |
