Colonoscopy - Just Do It

[dikowt dowg]

So much for freedom

My last doctor wanted me to get one but could not give me a good enough reason. They kept listing markers and I kept pointing out how I don't have any of them. Then they punted and went with "everybody else is doing it, it's just what you do at your age."

They ain't my doctor no more.

My Gfather died of colon cancer. I guess he ignored the signs though. But if the saying about skipping generations is true, I'm drinking the nasty liquid.

The funny part in this is I learned they shove an air hose up your ass and puff ya up inside. That way they can get that camera up in there. So I'm out of surgery and man...talk about some long flappy farts.

Apparently everyone who's ever downed that nasty liquid


My point is that it is probably not necessary for every living human. How did we ever get by without colonoscopies? Yet the medical community swears that everybody needs them, and they always seem to find something that needs removing.

I would think some of you guys would be a little more suspicious about that. I'm not the type of person who believes everything my doctor says without questioning it a little. The fact that I've gotten two doctors to back down from recommending them makes me think it's not as critical as folks are being led to believe.

I also believe that doctors use "pre-cancerous cells" as a scare tactic.

This is some Q shit.

"Suspicious"? You aren't being given medication. You aren't having a piece of you removed. They are literally putting a camera inside of you and looking around. I'm curious where the "suspicion" comes in. Do you think they are sending pictures of your asshole to China or something?

See, you have one of the markers, therefore, get the test done. Logical.

^^^This I understand and respect.^^^

And then there's the people who get cancer who have no family history of it...which is a shit ton of people. There's "increased risk" and then there's cancer not giving a fuck about "signs" and "history"

I wouldn't put it past Biden's administration, would you?

The Big C don't take many prisoners. But we all gotta go. Hu had some tuff dealings with covid and has really stayed the course for keeping his fam safe. I don't blame him knowing what has happened to people close to him.

Where I'm heading with this is we all sort of know what it takes to get our families through the bad times. Hu is on top of it.

Guess I don't know about that stuff, just very interesting when people have the ability to extend their life (especially those with kids), choose not to.

Granted if you're 70 and don't give a fuck and don't want to be a self-shitting burden on your family, but if you're 50 and decide to neglect something that can cut some decent years(decades) off your life...

Honestly it was. I can assure you that neither I nor anyone here has yet fully described just how truely awful tasting that crap was back then. It was not a thin liquid either. It had some texture to it! Like almost a gel. That made it even worst.

Smelled awful, tasted even worst and had a texture that was gel like in consistency.

The trifecta of awfulness!

How long has it been since you had one?

I think I’ve told this story but it’s worth repeating.

When I did my first dose of the prep I started to have a reaction where hives were coming up and I started inching all over. Went to grab some Benadryl and we were out and the wife was in the shower. I jump in the car to the pharmacy because I didn’t know how bad it was going to get. I was a half mile from my house and I felt it starting to kick in and I finished that last 1/2 mile in record time. I wasn’t on the toilet two seconds and the fury was unleashed.

Trust me do not leave the house after drinking the prep and in fact don’t be more than 20 feet from a bathroom.

I appreciate the concern. But trust me, nobody's going to be that upset when I check out. My kids already have my permission to dump my body in the desert if I wind up a veg.

I've gotten to live longer than .any get a chance to. Best years long gone. If I get the ass cancer, I'll figure out how to get a hold of a lethal dose of heroin before becoming a burden on everyone.

Feels like I just read something like this yesterday...

[RobBase]

ugh....I liked my doctors instructions much better. The worst part for me is I wasn't allowed anything to drink, not even water after that second dose. So I had to fast all day the day before. No liquids after midnight. Then get up at 4am and take the second dose. My surgery was at 1:00pm. So I'm pretty close to 13 hours with no liquids and they sucked every drop i had in reserve out.

I was a bit agitated I couldn't even get a sip of water or even some ice cubes. Assholes.

This sounds awful.

The pipes have to be clean. DickDog had to flush all the gerbils out.

Well. I am past 70 and have seen a lot of grief in my life and I don't wish that on my wife and kids. Solution, I'm gonna live forever.

But there’s no chance of someone sticking a camera on a rope up my butt

Except this time it will be a medical procedure...
