COLONOSCOPY

My test was negative although they removed a very small polyp that was probably non-cancerous. Dr. Johnson did a great job explaining what he was going to do. Before we started, he talked about golfing at Grand Cypress in Orlando with his family. The nurses, Laurie and Liz were very cordial and professional. And Catherine, the post-op nurse was very nice.

The worse part was done the day before when I had to take laxatives and be on a clear, liquid diet. I couldn't believe I started exfoliating contents in my colon. At 3AM, I had to take another 32 oz of a mixture with Gatorade. By morning, I was dumping liquid. With all this cleansing, I really felt great. I believe I lost at least 5 pounds. I entered the proceedure very nervous, but i left relieved. I'm so grateful for my health.
