Fear of Impending Tests Remember how nervous you'd get before that big exam? How you'd get dry mouth and a queasy stomach? Yup, that's me. I've got to go in for a colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm a nervous person around doctors anyway... but add in a very restrictive diet (liquids only) along with some "liquid stomach plummr" and I'm feeling, well, kinda out of whack to be polite. And I'm just craving that left over fried rice sitting in the fridge! But this has to be done - I've had abdominal pain on and off for several months now and I'm tired of it affecting my life. Don't you worry about a thing, punkin. It's better to be safe than sorry -- but the exam itself sounds way worse than it is. I've been through it - last summer. It's over before you know it. And the drugs are great. In fact--the hardest part is really what you're going through today. Wen its all over you'll be living without the worry because you'll know what the problem is and you'll take care of it. I'll be sending good ju ju in the morning. Good luck, Jeremy! posted by: mopsa on May 5, 2003 5:45 PMThat's the first time a blog entry has ever made me clench my ass. I mean, *hard*, too. Hope everything comes out okay...hee hee hee. Get it? Cuz it's a colonoscopy and I said - nevermind. posted by: Natalie on May 5, 2003 6:15 PMHey man, I know how you feel, believe me. Will there be a video? ;-) posted by: jack on May 5, 2003 8:49 PMjust remember, the worst part will be over before it even starts. posted by: bill on May 5, 2003 11:40 PMBeen there - done that - hope to never do it again. Hated the 36 hours of water and electrolyte fluid. =( The wierdest feeling (and I say "wierd", not "painful or pleasurable") is feeling the doctor exploring the interior of your colon with that cool camera-at-the-end-of-a-stick. Good luck. posted by: ephesys on May 6, 2003 12:48 AMBuck up, camper! Everyone together now: The sun'll come out tomorrow! Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun! posted by: Buddha on May 6, 2003 3:48 PMI doubt it'll make you feel any better, but at least you have proof-positive of having more than five readers. posted by: Buddha on May 6, 2003 3:54 PM |
