I'm doing a lot better tonight except for getting some sleep. Hope everyone else will be getting better soon.

Norm, thanks for the update! Will keep you in prayer!

Gordon Lightfoot sang, "The Wreak Of The Edmund Fitzgerald!"

Yep Bergy! Wasn't all that long ago. Saw on Discovery where Divers found The Edmund Fitzgerald. Even family members were interviewed. Something about the Ship's Bell. I dunno know cuz, like you Bergy, I've had a few BRAIN SCANS Myself. Got hit in the Head by the Boom of a Sailboat. Got hit hard. Had a brain hemmorhage with temporary paralysis on the Right side. But I'm better now. So, yeah..I have that song on my I-Pod! I Luv it!!

SideWinder! Prayers out for you. Try to get some sleep if you can. Saw the PRAYER Thread...you're saying you are doing a 'little better'. Good!! Here's praying you keep on keeping on. Hang in there. Prayers out. God Bless You,

Bergy,

I have had 2 and 1/2 of those buggers..

no sweat.

Robert,I understand...there is no pain. They put you under, just enough so you have no pain.

It sounds the same as when I have a biopsy on my esophagus.

I hope they don't use the same instrument to do both procedures!

Bruce...

it is more of discomfort and pressure...

plus you have to stay awake...

but you go home after recovery, 1 hour or so.

Robert, I had to pick a box of some stuff at the pharmacy, I start using it tomorrow. I'll be taking it right up to the 26th, the procedure is the next day. I,also have to avoid certain foods!

Isn't it just crappy to talk about this crap?

They explained to me...they give just enough anaesthetic to partially put me under so I wont feel any pain.They give me some other drug to wake me up!

Is a hangover an illness?

Just as well get better-ahey - -

Bergy....... just make sure, when they ask you if you have any other concerns before they get started, just make sure you tell them


"Please don't hurt the Gerbil".

Thanks Tank, I think we covered all the bases, except for one. I forgot to tell the young lady conducting the interview that I have a VP shunt in my brain. I don't know if it's relevant, I'll give her a buzz tomorrow!

You get to drink all that stuff - yummy!!

By the way, where is your brain located that it would be relevant to a colonoscopy?
