OK, the vodka did not hurt the efficiency of the prep. We both had colonoscopies a couple of years ago, ah the joys of aging.
We both shunned the medication they offer for the procedure and were able to see the whole thing on a monitor. How do I say this, there were no remaining nasty bits in what, in shrimp, we euphemistically call the vein.
I hate to go on a tangent, but if any of you out there have been advised to get a colonoscopy please do it.
OK, it is an annoyance, but nothing more. The worst part is the prep, and it isn't that bad if you arm yourself with reading material.
And I am not recommending the vodka, but it worked for us.
The docs found a suspicious polyp that was removed during the procedure.
Turns out it was benign, but on the nasty side. And could have become malignant. Also it tells us we need to go every few years for another one.
I am tired of seeing people with colon CA that may have been detected in the very early stages with a simple, albeit annoying, procedure. Often the offending lesion can easily be removed during the porcedure, with no pain, before it becomes actual cancer.
Sorry to go off topic here.
Don't like to be on the soap box, but just had to get this one out.
Take care and God bless.
