I am a hollow tube, all shiny and glistening and clean


I am as pure as I’ll ever be. I’m a little bit ethereal today.

The colonoscopy went well, no abnormalities, not a hint of a polyp even. I don’t have to do it again for another ten years!

    Excellent news, and glad to hear it, PZ. That probably means you don’t have to go through the ordeal again for a few years.

    Wait so for a brief period of time nobody could rightly call you full of shit?

    In my experience, the prep is the worst part of things. Over the last 25 years or so I have been through this a few times and sometimes polyps were found, sometimes not. The important part is to get the checkup as a matter of preventative health care. Thanks for sharing your experience–if only one of your readers decides to follow your example, that is a good thing.

    My GI guy does colonoscopies on Tuesday and Thursday; he’s done thousands. Nice work if you can get it!

    But, I really appreciate my anesthesiologist. I cracked wise on the table and Dr. GI said, “Really, Bill? Put him out.” And, conk, I was gone. Woke up fresh as a daisy and full of gas, bloated like the Hindenburg.

    What was my crime? Well, the standard question doctors ask before a procedure is, “Do you know why you are here?” I answered, “I was driving by and saw a sign that said, “Free accordion lessons, so here I am.” No sense of humor, doctors.

    Topologically speaking the digestive tract, starting at the mouth and ending at the anus, is on the outside of the body.

    I try not to think about that too often.
