I am not using the poop emoji for this

So, I went yesterday to have the initial consult for my first colonoscopy, and lo and behold, it's happening tomorrow. I mean, medical stuff never goes that fast. LOL So, I'm spending today in the misery of liquids only + prep. Not looking forward to being NPO until the afternoon tomorrow either. But I'm glad to be getting it over with.

Also, the gastro was appalled that I've had no management of my celiac since diagnosis so I'm getting a bone density scan in January, and he tested my antibody levels. If those are elevated, it means I'm getting glutened even if I don't feel bad. Of course, if they do come back elevated, I suspect a certain new housemate is responsible for that.

But the house sale is completely over and the money is in the bank! OMG! So now the relocation may begin.

So glad you have a doctor who wants to make sure you are okay.

Good luck with the colonoscopy!

So glad Tom may be able to move soon. And I hope you have a more tranquil Christmas than you did Thanksgiving.

Huzzah!

A slightly more wincing Huzzah! XD

I had my first colonoscopy a few weeks ago! Not pleasant, but good to have done. I hope yours gives you good results.

Celiac is no joke. Wife has it and i'm seriously active in avoiding spreading gluten into her foods. Even manage to ?enjoy? the gluten-free noodles in soups. It's healthy for me b/c i've switched to spaghetti squash for many noodle-y things. Actually found out i prefer the squash to noodles.
Vitamin D3 for bone density. It;s good for all of us "not as young as we'd elect to be" ^(tm) sorts. Good wishes sent your way.

Good luck, hope it all goes smoothly and you get the answers you need!

Here with the celiac plus osteoporosis--at least the Dexa scan is quick and relatively painless.

Yay for relocation! That should help your peace and maybe your celiac, too.

It's always amazing when things move that fast - I find it does tend to happen round the holidays because I think a lot of people make an appointment and then cancel because of other obligations so they're suddenly open.

I hope the medical stuff and the relocation go smoothly! ♥

Sending good wishes for straightforward colonoscopy and relocation, especially!

Best of luck with the colonoscopy!! In my experience, the prep is by far the worst part, so you're getting past the worst of it early. \o?

And I want to give that gastro a medal for, like, doing his (and apparently everyone else's?) job.

*hugs and hugs and hugs*

Well, at least you don't have a month or two to worry about it. I'm sorry you're occupied this evening. Good luck fasting tomorrow. Hopefully, you won't have to wait long.

Glad the money is in the bank! Things can move along now!


Good luck tomorrow!

HUGGlES!

[archersangel]

Good luck with the colonoscopy. Hope all goes well.

[spikedluv]

Wow, that is quick! The prep is awful! Thankfully that's the worst part. I hope everything goes well today.

I . . . did not know that Celiac had to be 'managed'? No one told Pip that, as far as I know. I attended his early dr appts after diagnosis. I wonder if his primary doc even knows this?!! o_O

I hope the relocation goes smoothly and quickly.

[sheafrotherdon]

I am so glad for the relocation!!

[umadoshi]

I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible! *hugs*

[independence1776]

I hope it went well and that the relocation goes smoothly!

[sabethea]

Eek, good luck with it all. That all sounds horribly familiar.
