March 15, 2010

Went to Baylor Hospital in Waxahachie for the virtual colonoscopy. Only took about 20 minutes, but it was extremely uncomfortable. Without getting too graphic, they stick a tube up your butt, and then proceed to blow up your colon with air. It makes you feel like you have to go to the bathroom so bad! You just know you are going to have an accident laying there on that table. The tech kept assuring me there would be no accident, it was just a by-product of the air.

She took 3 scans while I was laying on my back, and then I had to flip over on my stomach, and she did 3 more scans. Every minute felt like it was 5 minutes long! Then they give you a washcloth and towel to go to the bathroom with. All this air they pumped you with is now going to come out. I was praying no one was in the room next to me hearing the sounds coming out of me for 5 minutes! Wow!
