Colonoscopy this morning

Hi everyone, I just woke up from a nice post-procedure nap.
This was the first time with my new GI, at a different facility than where I've gone for the past 26 years.
So, the interesting and not so happy thing, the GI didn't come to speak to me before I left! I was accustomed to having the doc stop by and just quickly tell me, "looks good" or "inflammation in x area" and maybe change meds.
The nurse came in and told me "it all looked fine" and he'd be calling me with the biopsy results in a week.
Also, the former place always gave me a bit of juice and a piece of toast or something before I left. Interesting to just wake up, get dressed and leave! Definitely more impersonal.
That said, the Miralax/Ducolax was OK. I did feel really nauseated for the last half of it, but that feeling passed as I finished and drank ginger ale. (I don't vomit easily, thanks goodness!) I was in the bathroom every 20 minutes from about 50 minutes after I started the Miralax until bedtime and then up every hour all night! So... I was sure tired today!

So now I get to wait for the report..... argh.

Glad the procedure went well.

I use had my c-scope last Friday and in addition to my post procedure nap, I had the best night's sleep in probably a year. I hope things are good and you get a great night's sleep!

Thanks for the reactions and well-wishes, everyone!
Actually, weirdly, I was awake for 1 1/2 hours in the middle of the night - I would have thought I'd sleep. Maybe my nap was too long yesterday afternoon.
A close friend commented that perhaps the Doc had come in while I was still asleep (propfol - I was Out!) and I do know he was at the hospital only for the morning and he was running late... so maybe that's the scenario, he stopped by I was asleep and he didn't have another chance. I dunno, I'll call him today.
Quincy - thanks for the tip! It never occured to me to have a copy of the results mailed to me. In fact, I do have all my records at the moment. Because I just transferred doctors, I'd had my former practice mail the copies of my records to me, and I made a copy of it all (100 pages or so - they'd left a lot out - lol) before bringing it to the new GI. But I should get copies as I go from here on out.

The GI I saw a few times (after mine retired) at the old practice as well as this new guy have talked about putting me on 6MP, given the severity of disease.... but my feeling is that I'm doing so well with the various complementary things, as well as the Asacol and Rowasa, that - I want to exhaust all the "milder" meds first before progressing med-wise. So I feel really invested in this scope!!
Thanks for listening.

Yes, I was alone. My husband had gone out for a walk and only came back in after I was awake. I did call the GIs office yesterday afternoon and asked, but his assistant/nurse/whoever (I am new at this practice) looked, said he'd left no notes, and she could have him call me Monday, but that he'd call me as soon as the path. reports were in. She told me I should relax over the weekend, that he only would have called me after if there was something "bad" going on.
Gosh, I used to be such a "Big Fish" in my former doc's office and got such VIP treatment (maybe everybody did!) I'll have to feel my way through this. I've only had one visit with this GI before the procedure. I do have another scheduled for a few weeks from now. (Cue: song - 'Getting to know you.....")

My first colonoscopy is going to be in Nov. I've never done anything other than flexiscopes before so I'm rather...well....crazy nervous about it. You are just plain old knocked out right, you don't know anything that they are doing to you.......

mythmoon, I don't like to be put out for the scope, but I will take the pain meds and a "light" dosage of the versed...which is an relaxant and amnesiac.

I watch the monitor.
