very sad. Condolences to his family. He was a good guy and had a good sense of humor! Makes me think I ought to get the colonoscopy my doc keeps telling me to get, since I'm a year older than him...
Matt,
Not to detract from the sadness or soberness of this thread but there is an alternative to the colonoscopy you can do in the privacy of your home. For most, it is the medical equivalent but, of course, you'd want to discuss with your doctor. One brand name is ColoScan. Unfortunately, tragedies are often the alerts in our lives and makes us appreciate others.
Another good one lost. Prayers go out to the family.
Matt--go get it done. I had my first done last year at 39, it was no big deal and I was up and going at work the next day.
no big deal???? haha I did call last week to get the name of the specialist, tho...so that's a step... I'll get to it soon.
Hopefully they put you under a fast acting sedative. Last thing I remember is being asked to roll over, followed by waking up in the hall being wheeled to Recovery. Just remember to have somebody else drive you home.
The worst part is the prep work the day before (flushing your system), and you can do all that at home. Do that at least a few hours before sleep so it doesn't interfere.
It's not that bad! I had to do it and I'm still in college.
being sedated and told to roll over? no, it doesn't sound like my cup of tea...but I guess if you guys survived it, I can too. It's a whole lot better than the premature demise, eh? Thanks for the encouragement!
