Colonoscopy

Thank you everyone for your prayers, good vibes, and "pictures". Had my colonoscopy today and "thank God" it was normal and no polyps. Asked the doctor to check for my hernia that is about the size of a huge soft ball when in there. Hey, thanks Craig, for the thumbs up on propophal worked like a dream and so much better than the other. Thing is there was quite a mess on the bed when looking at was left behind - yikes. Nurse said no problem that is what the sheet guards are for. Golly you think you have this humility mastered and it hits you in the face - oh wait- the bed sheets once again. Asked my husband to bring me a dipe wipe to wash up but they actually gave me a wash cloth which was so much better.

Doctor came in and told me everything looked great but he noted the hernia and wants me to have surgery within the next month. He asked if it hurt and of course my trying to be brave said yes sometimes, but pointed out that whenever eating it always lodges in that place and I'm forevering trying to push it through my colon. Right away he said make an appointment for surgery.

I'm not sure if what I've been going through with the pain with this hernia is normal or not. It can stop me in my tracks, can make me cry, can make me stay home when other's go out, can stop me from eating, can double over in pain, can stick out like a huge melon when fully pushing on all my organs inside making everything hurt inside. Just thought this was all normal from having this surgery and when he so casually said we will fix this made me want to cry.

John23 I've known about your situation and that's what I'm afraid is going to happen to me. It's whether does the surgery help me or hurt me. I'm really debating this. It's continued to get bad this past year so much that it hurts everyday, but is it worth it?

Anyone else on here have successful hernia surgerys. I'm just scared.

Hugs all and thanks for your comments. Kim
