Adverbs of degree

Incurable is so far anyway, where your immune system is like this colon looks terrible.

It sucks that causes diarrhea and bleeding and pain when severe fatigue, weight loss, eventual death.

When it gets that bad, we have a cure for it where they take your colon out.

But that also comes with its own difficulties.

It's also increases your chances of colon cancer and a bunch of other nasty diseases.

So it's important to keep an eye on the colon.

And by endoscope, I mean a big, long, weird tube with a with a camera on the end of it, and a flashlight and a thing that pumps air out, see your colon inflates and a little water gun so it can shoot it stuff and also a laser sometimes so it can cauterize wounds and a little clip.

Well, I can't figure out how much it called on a scope costs, but it does have a section in the key benefits that says smoother and more comfortable insertion.

So I hope they've got that one in my hospital.

I got in a bunch of colonoscopies over the years.

I think this is maybe my third or fourth.

The fact that I can't remember my indicate that it for me.

But with luck, everybody gives toe have several colonoscopies.

So let's talk about it, even if you're not planning on getting one, just knowing before the doctor brings it up.

Not a bad thing for the thing to understand about the entire process of a colonoscopy is they want your colon to be really clean.

And generally it's not like I don't think I need to explain.

That's why, for like a week beforehand, you shouldn't have any nuts.

You should have anything with seeds like a sesame seed bun or raspberries.

They could get launched in places in the doctor season.

And if it doesn't move and they're like, something is weird and I'm worried about it.

But then it's like I was a sesame seed the whole time.

That water gun is adorable on everything, but like sometimes that sesame seed just real stuck there.

Step Number two is the horrible gas can of misery.

I don't know why they can't put this thing in a better container.

It seems very industrial, but the co pay was $0.

My main tip here put it in the fridge the night before, and he's being the fridge for at least 12 hours.

You do not want to drink this stuff warm if you start to get a little balmy, which happens, I like to have a little sip of a coke just like a little sip.

You could have coke or clear liquids or green liquids.

You can't have read liquids the day before the colonoscopy because that looks like blood.

You don't want any maybes when it comes to blood.

During the colonoscopy, you could also take a Benadryl that could help chill the VON in addition to not drinking red stuff, You also can't eat anything the day before the procedure.

I'm currently in that day as the beginning of it.

But right now, as the stuff that they put in this can you like, filled with warm water and shake it up and then you put it in the fridge.

That stuff is gonna make you feel a little bit like a rocket on a launch pad.

Except it's not like combusted rocket fuel coming out of you, If that's what it feels like.

This is a day in which you're gonna poop a lot.

You might wanna get some baby wipes, some indie ointment.

You figure out how to use those things yourself on.

My guy explained, Ideally, you could take a good portion of the day off before your colonoscopy because you're taking this prep and you're not eaten food.

And so you're not a ton of fun to be around.

I like to use this day to do stuff that I wouldn't otherwise do.

Like work on a cool, new project that I haven't thought about or watch star check the next generation a lot.

Something I love doing that is not gonna have any annoyance in it because it's short trigger.

Often hear people say that the prep for a colonoscopy is hell.

But like in comparison to the procedure, it's bad because the procedure these days is very like nothing.

They give you propofol, but also asked to be awake during the colonoscopy if that's your bag.

But they won't bring that option up on their own.

More than half of colonoscopies result in a biopsy being taken or Apollo being removed.

So if you find wake up and find out that happened, that's not like panic time.

That's normal, vast majority of polyps or non cancerous.

But if you do have cancerous or pre cancerous growths, this is why you did it 100% of colonoscopies end in massive farts.

They inflate your whole Colin so that they can look around in there.

After the colonoscopy, you will want someone to drive you home.

And so will the doctors mean they will not let you drive yourself home because you will be on drug propofol, which is the drug that is mostly used for anesthetics now wears off fairly quickly.

But you probably should consider that day a wash as well.

And if you notice anything weird, well, they'll talk to you about this.

But like talk to your doctor if things seem off after the procedure and now, without further ado Rose, let's walk through the process as I experienced it.

You would drink it in two sittings, two hours long each.
