Had the colonoscopy and endoscopy 3/12/21 same day.Wasn't bad was a relief to hear all good.Was having stomach problems but with ulcer meds now feeling better and no longer taking meds.The worry for me was waiting on biopsy results all good no cancer yet. Glad you woke up with no butt taste in your mouth. They must have done 'em in the right order ! 5 years till my next, I'm doing the 10 year plan too.

Close but no cigar. Propofol is what you want. Propranolol is a beta-blocker commonly used in high BP, dysrythmia, etc. 😉
Edit: yes, it is a very good drug and to say it and other tailored-for-anesthesia drugs were revolutionary is not hyperbole.

SandBilly gets two or three colonoscopies a week...just to be safe... Talk about living rent free in someone’s head. 😆 It’s all good, some times I stay the night rent free at your momma’s house. You’re usually locked in the basement. Lol

Just make sure your doctor doesn't get tunnel vision.

Dad died from colon cancer, got to his liver. So every 5 years since age 40 I get to go have one. So far all is good, next one end of May My mother was months away from colon cancer hitting her liver, no symptoms at all. She got lucky and it was found in a routine Colonoscopy she didn't want to do. It probably added 20+ years to her life. My advice is if you're thinking about it, do it. I'm on a 3 year higher risk schedule.

Had to go see the doc today in order to get a Rx refilled. She mentioned that C word. I suppose it's time. I'll be 51 soon.

I had another cancer and I knew it when I got my first scope. I never wanted one, but then suddenly it seemed like a very good idea.
Prep was miserable, but the hospital trip was nothing. Much easier than I thought.
Smart thing to do.

Carol did the prep work, IV and all that. Nice lady.
Bonnie was my best friend and anesthesiologist. Cute little gal. She asked if I have ever had any problems with the anesthesia. Nope, I’m pretty easy. I’ll probably be asleep just by showing me the needle. Great, she says. I’m gonna go ahead and get started with the sleepy time stuff, time to wake up. It was like one sentence.
Awesome sleep.
