Life after 50 ....

Life after 50. Hubby gets to have the dreaded colonoscopy.

He was such the trooper he took the prep like a pro. I have to say I was scared that when he saw this huge jug he would back out. But he didn't. You hear all the horror story's about the prep. I think for him it was drinking all this and "nothing" happened for a long time, like 5 hours of waiting for the "run" to the bathroom kicked in. His poor tummy was so bloated and he just laid on the couch and groaned. He was starving because you have to not eat any solid food for the day before the prep. You just drink this "nasty" stuff so he called it. The morning of the procedure he was calm and ready. We got to the hospital and it was a quick procedure 30 minutes and he was done. Heck I didn't have time to be bored in the waiting room. Then it was off to the recovery room. As I walked in I'm always a little leery at what you will see in recovery. He was laying there and I walked up and he sat straight up in the bed and said, "Where am I"? I told him he was in recovery. Then he said, "How did I get here'? He was so funny and I was trying not to laugh out loud. They Nurse came in and told him he needed to pass gas before he goes home. After the Nurse left the room. He said " I can't FART or I will POOP in the bed he was so loud and I was so embarrassed. But lucky everything was OK and he dodged the bullet without any accidents. WHEW !!!. I can hardly wait for My Colonoscopy when I turn 50.
