Well, today’‘s colonoscopy did not finish because I still had some bowel in the colon, so I am spending the night again. This is going to be my 3rd try at getting things out of the colon. A 3rd try? Unusual and a first timr for the doctor performing the procedure? No, not the first patient, but unusual for this doctor. If this prep doesn’t work, Jackie and I will reschedule and try another time. So one more go at it.
This time, I was ordered an enema so the nurse Julie who was on schedule from 7 am to 7 pm had put the tube in my butt to squeeze the medicine into me. At 6 pm Julie the nurse began the Go Lightly regimen and she another nurse got me on the commode with the hoyer lift for the hour and at 7 pm, kaTrina the nurse helpes me with getting on and off the commode at 7:30 pm and back on last time at 9:30 pm. by 10:30 pm my colon was cleaned out entirely! The enema worked and the burdensome bowel was in the commode. The 3rd time is either a charm or a no go—-three strikes. And you’re out. Katrina/Katie said it is going to work this time! I hope so!
