Those amnesia drugs are great.

My wife said in recovery I announced no less than 4 times that I had "a bowel monkey fixin to wreck the gorilla cage."

not yet.

Of course, the wife makes sure I'm eating well already, there's not much they could change there.

I could use more exercise, but this is mostly a heredity issue.

Glad you caught it at the early stage. Mine had turned into a tumor. Make sure you get a colonoscopy its painless and well worth it.

Best Wishes RWE.

Versed, a sedation drug used for the procedure. It produces retrograde amnesia. Good stuff. Nobody wants to remember something noodling up their rectum...
Glad they found the precancerous polyp. That's what it was designed to do.

For some folks, versed can remain in their system for a full day.
That's why they want someone to drive you home after the procedure and be around. I remember being given a picture of my colon, where there showed evidence of diverticulitis. Couldn't find the picture late that evening when I looked for it. 2 weeks later, I found it in a drawer in the bedroom. Don't remember putting it there.

The short Indian guy that was probing my ass got them while he was in the neighborhood.

Seriously, don't remember a thing.

They tell you ahead of time about the amnesia drugs, and also that while you are on them - you won't do anything you wouldn't normally do, you just won't remember.

Which makes the whole "bowel monkey" thing all the better.

Wife said that I had to "pass air" as the nurses put it, but I didn't feel, "excuse me, you don't want to stand on that side of me; I need to pass air." was going to adequately describe the event.

I negotiated down from "I hope the wall paint can withstand a chemical attack."

They are sending the polyps to the lab.

any cancerous cells at all (which he doubts) will be 1 year.

non cancerous but of a type typically known to turn cancerous will be 3 years. (his opinion)

otherwise, 5.

I don't know if its the same guy or not. I understand they mass produce these guys in Mumbai.

I had my first one at 45 and clean, second one at 53 and they found 2 non-C polyps. Family history also.

Doing the colonoscopy is mandatory for anyone that claims they love their family/living. Just do it.

Glad you are well.

Had my first (and only) about 10 years ago - non-medicated.
The doc looked like a cross between Mark Twain and Einstein, miniature version. He was all of 5'2" tall.
During prep, the nurse asked if I had any problems, and I answered that there was a song that wouldn't leave my head. She about split her sides when informed it was the theme song from "Candid Camera"

Time before last, the doc said I talked constantly through the whole thing.

Not knowing all the statute of limitations that could be involved, I found that troubling.
