So I trust everything came out alright in the end? 
So…did you swallow the gum accidentally or on purpose?
My wife’s prep is well under way now, and she’s still got whole kernels of corn coming down the chute. That’s from the day before prep, when she made some special deluxe cornbread. It was kick ass cornbread, for sure.
Wow. It’s been about 2½ years since we had a colonoscopy thread (that I’ve noticed). I’ve added this one to the compendium.
Since it’s been that long, I’ll post the whole list again here, just for reference purposes:

Senegoid, sir, are…are *you *the Assman?
Maybe he’s just a tad anal retentive…
Absolutely, down to the very core of my soul! What, y’all thought I’m a (usually) meek mild SDMB poster who writes civil posts and stays (mostly) out of the Pit?
HAHAHAHA! That’s just my on-line personna! Little do you know! IRL I’m the Assman Himself. (Well, second only to trump maybe. He’s giving me the runs for my money.)
Or am I? What do you think?
In the meantime, keep those colonoscopy threads a-coming. I have the biggest best colonoscopy thread collection of anybody!
(I was also going to build a compendium of threads on the topic “Things to see and do around the San Francisco Bay Area”, but never got around to it. Someday!)
Is “the inside of a colon” one of them?
When you are in SF or Oakland, you are inside a colon, so…
Totally an accident - I was about done with the prep, and there was no way I’d sabotage it.
My GP had recommended the procedure a few months ago and said I would be notified. No one called. Eventually I called the clinic and said I wanted to go on record as the only person who was actually demanding a colonoscopy. Everything went well, except my wife lost my driver’s license and bank card that I entrusted to her during the procedure.
We really need a like button
Where did they go ??!! :eek: They’re always in the ass place you look.
