LOL!!! Had it done yesterday morning and everything went great. No glitches or problems. The toughest part was the prep before hand. Had to just do the clear liquids the day before, started taking the wonderful pills at 1(afternoon) with taking four at a time every 15 minutes till I consumed 20 and then get up at 3:00 am to finish the other twelve, but hey, they worked.....LOL!!! I thought, this isn't too different than when I had the bad diarrhea with Gleevec in the beginning. (smile) I remember them starting my "drug" at 10:06 am and I woke up back in the little room right at 10:50. They had me out of there, I think, by 11:05. HaHaHa. I've never been in and out for some medical procedure that quick in my life. They gave me Profonol and it was like I fell into a great sleep and then they woke me up out of it before I was ready. I told mom no wonder Michael Jackson had this at home to help him sleep. It was awesome.
All she found was one small polyp which she removed and some "internal hemorrhoids" which was a little surprising to me as I had no clue about those. But the great thing was "no Diverticulitis" Yippee, I can eat my "homegrown" tomatoes now. LOL! So, this does away with the theory of that being the cause of the pain in lower left side. Hhhmmmmmm, not that & not the spleen. What in the devil could it be???? I give up. One interesting thing to happen while I was there.......it was on my paperwork that I had CML, and when the nurse who was preparing me saw that, she told this other nurse "I'm going to assign this patient to you and so and so to this other nurse named Donna. They then proceeded to tell me that Donna had just lost her 4 year old grandson last Saturday to AML. Said that the doctors had just diagnosed him on the previous Thursday and he was dead by Saturday. They did not want Donna to see that CML on my paperwork and I certainly understood that........but, my question was "why is she here working" to my Mom who was there to drive me home. My mom said "well, I certainly wouldn't be at work after losing a grandchild just a few days ago & I said, neither would I"! So very sad. Still trying to get my BCR-ABL results from two weeks ago. Left word with nurse practitioner who is out on vacation and will be back in tomorrow. Hopefully, the tests are back by now.
