Brad's Little Adventure

Yesterday we had an interesting experience. If you'll remember,Brad had his appendix out a couple of months ago. When the pathology came back they discovered that he had some polyps in it, which apparently is quite rare. Because of this, his doctor was concerned that he may have polyps in his colon or intestines, so he got to have the wonderful experience of a colonoscopy - yeehaw! They put him completely out for the procedure just in case they needed to remove any polyps once they got in there, so that part of it wasn't too bad, since he was completely comatose for it. However, the 24 hours leading up to the test were pretty hair-raising. That poor guy, I felt so bad for him -- let's just say that they want your colon and intestines squeaky clean before they go in there for a look around, so they give you some pretty intense medication that 'greases the wheels' (so to speak!). Not a fun experience. Thankfully, though, he passed the test with flying colors, no indication of anything remotely polyp related, so we are grateful and immensely relieved. Brad's back to normal and feeling especially thankful that he probably won't have to go through this particular ordeal for another 10-15 years! Hooray!
