Colonoscopy Day

Well the morning started out very well, remarkably I slept soundly through the night. I had expected to be awake and stressed about the procedure all night long. After waking up and taking a shower there was nothing left to do but drive to the hospital. Mother nature decided to throw a curve ball at me and the roads were as slick as an ice rink. It took a little longer to get there but no problems. The staff at St. Thomas More were very nice. A nice surprise when I was taken back to the room was to find out one of the nurses was a long time co-worker. This relaxed me immediately.

The procedure was uneventful, After checking all my vitals and starting an IV I was given two medications and I was out light a light bulb. Hell, I really don't remember walking out to the car afterwards. My wife Kim drove me home and I went back to bed and slept for another couple hours. The doctor said everything looked good and there were no issues found during the procedure.

One thing that stuck with me after the procedure was the professionalism of the staff. I work at a hospital everyday of the week, and I can tell you that the staff that took care of me were top notch. I just hope that the staff at our hospital are doing the same things that I saw while being cared for. I was very impressed. Now I just have to wait for the official report from my doctor. Should know something in a few days.
