Last Monday I had a colonoscopy done. I had been having some problems, so my doctor insisted on this "procedure." After 3 days of a liquid diet and 500ml of a magic drink, I was quite ready to get it all over with! Despite the way the "polyklinika" (clinic) looks from the outside (pictured above), the doctor's office was very clean and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor or nurse. They gave me a shot of something to supposedly ease the pain. I was awake through the entire procedure. When they got the camera where they wanted it (after a lot of pushing!) they turned the monitor towards me and showed me the inside of my colon! It was very fascinating and I have to say that I thought it looked beautiful and healthy! I felt very blessed at that moment that God gave us such a wonderful organ, and He gave man the ability to see it from the inside! The doctor said I was a great patient and she could see nothing wrong with my lower intestine, except that it was unusually long. On Wednesday I had an ultrasound done of my upper intestine which also showed nothing. I am very impressed with how thorough the doctor has been. I'm also grateful that I was given a clean bill of health! Thanks for your prayers!
