November 6, 2014. Stupid stupid stupid.

So today is the day. Horrible. I get to do a colonoscopy not very much fun. 

The prep is the worst part. You are given this awful stuff to drink. That is usually the worst part. 

I can say that this is the most rediculas day ever. Beyond stupid. If they don't get me in there and do this soon I might go crazy. It is almost 1:00. I have been here since 10:30.

Well I did not get my colonoscopy done. The doctor was insistent that I be given an IV so that I could be made unconscious for the procedure. I had an appointment about a month ago and I was resigned to the fact that they would give me a sedative. What changed?   I was called and the person on the other end of the line said I would not be required to be unconscious. So I began to operate under the belief that I would not need to have an IV or be unconscious. So up until the moment of the procedure I thought that an IV was an option. Well I was already and the doctor came to see me. I guess it was her attempt to get me to have an IV. She made three attempts to get me to accept an IV. Finally she tried to talk to my step father. I what was probably a last ditch effort to get me to change me mind. I am very grateful that he basically referred her back to me. 

So all the preparation and no colonoscopy. Well at least I was clean as a whistle inside and out.
