The "Anything Goes" Thread

Nothing like an endoscopy first thing in the morning! Better than a colonoscopy!! (which is on my bucket list of things never to do again!)

I still find it amazing how they can put you out for 10 or 15 minutes, and you wake up pretty quickly thereafter. Mind you, I still feel like I could take a long snoooze!

Hoping the final results are ok.

Have you seen what anesthesiologists get paid? You might as well wake up in a spaceship next to Keanu Reeves.

All I know is, the first time I was put under, it took me hours to get my bearings back. Room was spinning a little. Told my wife to go do something for a while until I could stomach anything. Wow, that was as bad as the night I drank a bottle of rum as a teenager. Lots of spinning and lots of kneeling in the washroom!!

Just had my second colonoscopy a little over a month ago. They tried to give me a wheelchair, but I was already half way out of the room. The nurse asked me what the big hurry was, and I told her I had to go move some cars around with the front end loader. lol.

I hate colonoscopies!! Apparently I am not the only one. Did you have to drink all the Colyte the evening before? It was awful. Plus I did not know I could drink something else to minimize the side effects, like chills. I have been told that some folks were allowed to drink a much smaller container of fluid, whatever it is.

The good news for me, I was so hungry and feeling so yucky after the procedure that the toast and coffee they gave me tasted like the best meal I ever had!!

Toast and coffee? I'm getting my next one in Canada.

The prep stuff sucks. There's just no way around it.

Growing up (many decades ago) we often heard the saying, "be a man". Times have progressed and rightly so, and though the concept is still the same, the more appropriate wording is, "be an adult".

Being an adult is a significant factor when considering its impact on our youth, girls and boys. Solid role models are in deep demand. And the future is, no doubt, much more positive, the more we have.
