Colonoscopy tomorrow, hand surgery next week

[WilliamJE]

I'm 48 and had an anal fissure repaired 5 years ago. When I last saw the doctor who did the surgery, he advised me getting a colonoscopy in the future. The future has arrived. Today I did the prep before having the procedure done at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Then on November 17th I'm having carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. I never had CT till my OHS in August 2008. It is believed that because of the way I was laid out for surgery, that caused the CT damage. I had no symptoms before surgery and remember noticing the numbness almost right away after waking up.

All I hope is that I do have CT and it isn't a brachial plexus injury. Which is the other realistic possibility.

THe worst of that colonoscopy is the prep! Best of luck to you.

Best of luck for your surgery for your hand too. Get it all done before the holidays!

Best wishes on your colonoscopy this morning. I'm right behind you (no pun intended), did my prep yesterday and this morning and have my procedure at 10:30. The prep was not fun, but not as bad as I expected. Not a nice birthday present, though.

I hope your results were as good as mine. The dr. said to come back in 5 years.

As for birthdays, I spend my wife's most recent one in the hospital and in 2007 I spent mine in the hospital. Lets hope 2010 is the first year since 2006 that I don't overnight in the hospital at least once.

Great news on your results! This doctor told me to come back in 10 years. Sounds great to me!

Also, wishing you a year of nonevents, except for real birthday parties.
