TWANG Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 thanks again. Yeah.. I bought the cream for the 'bottom' as the nurse calls it. I want to go to texas roadhouse for steak after.. but I'm wondering if I'll have to wear a diaper. *G* TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Don't sweat it, after all the preps they took me in a room gave me a pill and the nurse dimmed the lights and said the doctor would be in shortly. The next thing I remember is the nurse shaking me and I asked if we were ready to start and she no, you are all done. I was clean as a whistle and my wife took me to Texas Roadhouse on the way home I ate a HUGE ribeye, salad and about a dozen rolls, it took me about 3 days to start exhausting again. So enjoy the Roadhouse afterwards, best steak in this part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 .. Don't forget TWANG - post the vid on YouTube and link to it here..... . Sorta gives a new meaning to the phrase "you tube", no? Seriously though, hats off to Nelson, for being man enough to put aside petty squabbles and actually give kind words in this thread. It is nice to see the decent human side of you once in a while... I knew you had it in you, LOL! Twang, my dad had that same procedure done a few days ago, he said he slept through the whole thing, and he has had no complaints of discomfort afterward... Hope yours goes just as easy. You have my best wishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrirlupus Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 i've gone through that... actually, i did that in elementary school. i have crohn's disease (so they had to cut me open after the colonoscopy and take out 1/2' of intestines...) and i did it again on the same day george w bush had one :P (just to make sure i wasn't about to relapse i guess...)

ef_in_fla Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've been there done that too. The stressing over the prep was a lot worse than the actual prep. The procedure itself was a breeze. The best part is that as soon as you're done, go get a huge double cheeseburger or big sloppy pizza. Yeah baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah baby!!![/quote'] actually, i diddn't get to eat after mine :P (not that i really was that hungry after the nasty salty tasting laxative stuff) but after the surgery i had (sometime after the colonoscopy confirmed my crohn's disease) (and recovery...) i ate sauerbraten! ... very good, and pricey... but hey, i hadn't eaten for a week or so... (couldn't... not after they took out some intestines...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 15 minutes to liftoff. *G* thanks all.. I admit I am a bit freaked. I've had a couple of procedures in my life but nothing quite so personal. If I can eat.. I'm going for the steak! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill V Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not to worry TWANG. This is really the worst part, I promise. Tomorrow, you'll get out of your street clothes and slip into that hospital gown. They'll wheel you into the room. You'll go to sleep for a little while and voila! You'll be putting your clothes back on before you know it. BTW, they'll inflate your bowels a bit with air so as to make things a little more visible and maneuverable. That "air" will be making its exit for the first few minutes after you come to. That's one of the few socially acceptable occasions where you can fart to your hearts content, so savor the moment.

TWANG Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm back. Totally out all through it Dr. Dosch and all the nurses, techs, were first rate. Personable, relaxed, even joked about 'house' a bit. Never felt a thing. woke up wondefully stoned. still hard to type. removed a couple of polyps, have to wait for lab test, but that'r pretty common and so little I'm sure that if it's anything serious we're on top of it. Gonna read a few posts then go lay on the bed and listen to Hendrix. thanks again all.. I appreciate the kind words the jokes.. et al! You're a good bunch.

TWANG Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 back. and had my three hour nap. still a little fuzzy headed to tell the truth. but I feel fine. never felt a thing. took out a couple of polyps. be a few days before they analyze them. but polyps are pretty common so I'm not sweating it. worst part was just that watery experience. that and my kid walking by the bathroom laughing. All I gotta do now is try to wake the heck up! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 In spite of everything else between us here where it's all actually meaningless' date=' I wish the best for you in your health. and all of the good luck....and don't get too aroused by it where afterward you find yourself in a seedy part of town with a hose and a flashlight looking for a lady of service with a really open mind...Just kidding, Twang...get well soon and get back here so that I have someone to argue with...Best of luck Mr.Nelson[/quote'] Well, Mr. Nelson, that was refreshing. I'm glad that you mentioned the part about our disagreements on this board being meaningless. It shows that you actually do have a heart (grin). I knew that you did. TWANG, Good luck with the procedure. I've been expecting my doctor to prescribe it. All my friends have had it. I've been praying for the external MRI scan that is almost as good as the probe camera to become the standard. One day it will, but I doubt it will happen before my turn. It's a shame that we can't buy replacement parts for our bodies yet. Stem cell research will eventually fix that, too. We old guys were just born 50 years too early.

Dennis G Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We old guys were just born 50 years too early. Nah...we got to live through the 60's. If you were really there, that was more than a couple of lifetimes and some of us are still coherent enough (surprisingly) to remember. Or are those still "flashbacks"?? Anyway.....

TWANG Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Capt. Years ago I had a cyst removed from a finger. driving home a guy cut me off.. so I showed him my giant bandage. guess which finger? He realized I'd caught up to him not for road rage but just for that, and we went driving down the highway together laughing. three cheers on the stem cell mention. Far too many find it impossible to get on the organ donor list of recipients, and far too few are willing to give up their used parts! test results should be tomorrow or day after, but I feel pretty confident I'm... good to go? I'll let you all get back to guitars now! thanks again TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
