Update: Made It

I blame CindyH for my desire for breakfast food when I emerged from my fog this afternoon after the procedure: an omelet, potatoes & an English muffin from Denny's -- plus the rest of my wife's fries. I came through the procedure in pretty much one piece -- sans one polyp. And received a waiver for the next 5 years. In other words, I don't have to see Dr. Kutteruff again until 2014. Pretty dang, cool. I would have told you sooner, except I hit the couch to watch "Van Helsing" afterward -- and woke up 3 hours later. Didn't feel much. But I do remember waking up during the process and watching the guided tour of my big intestine. It took about a half hour. Piece of cake. The fasting was the only hard part. If you're thinking about doing this ... just do it/DFO.
