Today I survived my first colonoscopy. Man that prep is no joke. It was a long day yesterday on a liquid diet and a long, interrupted night. But I got through.

Although they sedate you during the procedure, I swear I was awake the entire time. I kind of remember taking gibberish while I was watching the screens. Crazy. Then I was exhausted and fell asleep almost as soon as we got home.

They didn’t find anything worrisome, only one small polyp that will get sent off to a lab. Since I recently had a pet scan, I’m not worried about it. I’m grateful it went well and I don’t have to worry about it again for a long while.
