The first alien butt probe went smoothly - and quickly - and there are no polyps and I don't need another for another TEN years. Woohoo! He did see evidence of some past diverticula but nothing inflamed or any cause for concern unless I have issues and he says they are one of those things that come with age. Emily and I went to a diner after for breakfast where I had an egg white omelet with VEGGIES (OH how I missed them), a few hash browns and a piece of rye toast. I could have finished everything since my hunger signals are clearly off but I thought it best to put on the brakes early. I also did tea since coffee may have started churning up tummy acid again. Aside from some gassy bubbles, a mild headache while trying to rehydrate and a sore back from all the twisting needed for ALLLLL the darned wiping last night, I'm doing ok.
For those that haven't done a colonoscopy, my TMI experience on the prep under the cut - YMMV
( Cut for TMI )
Next up in early January is the eye appointment to see if I need reading/computer glasses to go with the expensive progressive lenses I got this last summer. I also have a new gyno on January 9 to check out the oddness that was found on my MRI and I still need to hunt up a new GP that I had my Gastro give me some suggestions this morning. I also need to get flu and covid vaccines so that I'm all set there and sometime I need to get around to shingles shots. Whew, all this stuff as you get older is overwhelming.
But very glad to have something turn out well. Oh...and after ALL THAT, I only lost slightly less than a pound. So I did see a 1 this morning but I'm sure it's gone by now. Not that I'm one to set formal "resolutions" but I am resolved to improve my health in general.
