The VA found blood in a sample and now I am getting my first Colonoscopy.

I am just a little worried and nervious, and worried and nervious.

Scared they are going to find something bad.

My 1st time I woke up about 20mins after they were done and I was ready to go for the day. Most uncomfortable thing was sitting down in the passenger seat and realizing I probably had a pound of Vaseline around my butt.

2nd time I was knocked out and could not have driven safely without a doubt.

3rd time I farted after I woke up and didn't realize I shit the bed until I got up. I pretty much ran out of that one.

The nurse deserved it. She called my wife my daughter.

Don't know what gave that old bag the idea I was that old but damn.

Took my first poop. A little bit of runny in it.

I believe the shit storm is about to start.

In general, patients must have a driver if they use anesthesia. Also, many hospitals prohibit ride share, because the driver could take advantage of you while under anesthesia.

I am hoping a DAV driver calls me in the morning. It has happened before for me that I didn't think the Driver was coming and they did. For some reason the Coordinator didn't tell me. They have treated me good. The VA has improved since the President I will not mention his name was president. Not the one who is there now.

You'd think it would be memorable, but don't know if I've had two or three of those things.

Anyway good you're getting it done, not that hard and not something you should skip.

I truely would be lost without the VA

They now have care in the community that your primary doctor approves easily. I am going to St James hospital in Butte for this and they first mentioned going to Helena. They approve doing it locally very easily now. The president I will not name Made this happen. The VA is definately better.

I am actually thinking about doing this. Humor is awesome.

Brother no worries at all. When you come out of the anesthesia you will be hungry and fell like a million bucks - you will be fine - prayers!

When I did my colonoscopy, I was out like a light and then when I woke up, I was 100 percent alert. I expected to be groggy, but nope, I was perfectly alert instantly. My wife can confirm this.

I really enjoyed my time in Southern Louisiana. I worked for Petroleum Helicopters shortly after I got out of the Air Force. Lafayette is one hell of a town.

How's your toilet bowl visibility about now? Put a baseball card in the bottom of the bowl. If you can read the stats on the back, you're ready.
