Popular Post Zealot Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 1, 2022 Just got home from colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. Removed a few polyps. Also have diverticulitis. Upper looked good, but sent off a few samples for biopsy. Came out of anesthesia and started removing all the things I was hooked up to. When I started pulling the IV out. The nurse quickly responded and removed it. Seems when I come out from under, I just need to get those things out. Still groggy. But home. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted November 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 1, 2022 Glad things appear to be well but tough to wait for the results. However, it could be worse. I started saying sweet nothings to my hot wife standing next to me as I was coming out of anesthesia, only to become more conscious and realize that the shadowy figure next to me was the nurse. My wife was at the head of the gurney out of sight and witnessed the whole thing. They had a good laugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 1, 2022 I hope they did the upper first or at least wiped off the scope in between. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man on a farm had a bull who went cross eyed one day. He didn't know what to do so he decided he would call the local vet. The vet went down to the farm and said "Ah! No problem, I know just what to do." He went to his truck and got a long pipe. He then inserted that pipe into the bull's ass and blew really hard. The man was amazed to see the bull's eyes go back to normal. "See there you have it, all back to normal, that'll be $150." The farmer paid the vet and was happy his bull was back to normal. A week goes by and the man notices the bull has gone cross eyed again. Well instead of paying $150, he decided he would just grab a pipe and do the same thing he saw the vet do. So he grabs a pipe, shoves it up the bull's ass, and blows really hard but to no avail. Reluctantly he calls the vet and asks him to come over. The vet comes by and the farmer says "Look, I did just what you did but it's not working." He blows into the pipe that's up the bull's ass and shows the vet it doesn't work. The vet walks over and takes the pipe out of the bull's ass, turns it around and sticks the other end into the bull's ass. "Whoa, what're you doing?!" to which the vet replies. "Are you kidding me, that end was in your mouth, I'm not putting my mouth on that!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have grabbed my kidneys before the nurse got any closer as a colonoscopy a different type of procedure not to be confused with harvesting!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted November 1, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 1, 2022 I would hope that you wouldn't yank out a foley. My husband has some opinions about people that wake and yank things out without calling for a nurse. It can be a bad thing to yank on that stuff. Glad to hear that you are ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I’m not a great patient. When I came out of anesthesia from my shoulder replacement, I pulled out everything. The IV removal, of course, caused me to bleed all over the bed. The ICU nurse was pretty upset. I don’t just arbitrarily do things like that during normal awareness. But anesthesia affects people differently. Much of what happens we only recall bits and pieces of. I don’t recall ever having a foley, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted November 1, 2022 Going into the operating room, I was cracking jokes and the nurses slipped me the pre-anesthesia mickey. That was fun, we were all laughing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
