I have just had a Colonoscopy!!! So what, you might say!!! Big deal, you might say!!! But do you know what, it was one of the best things to happen to me for a long time. The preparation for this examination involves a good internal clear out and almost two days without food, only liquids. Ok I felt a bit weak on the day but after the examination, which was painless by the way, I had a meal afterwards and went to bed. The next day I found that I had lost 5 lbs in weight but felt full of energy. That was two weeks ago and I have put 2 pounds back on but I am still full of life and raring to go and at nearly 80 years of age that means a lot!!! Obviously it was the clear out that was the secret!!!! So if anyone is waiting for this experience, do so without trepidation. Of course they are going in there for a reason, so keep your fingers crossed for a good result.
