Yay! So proud of you for muscling through this and getting it done. And happy to hear about your polyp-free colon, my friend! (I usually wake up too and try to engage the gastroenterologist in conversations about what we're seeing on the screen.) I hope you were able to get a good post-procedure nap. Thanks for giving us the chance to reflect on this with you!

The colonoscopy offers a lot of shit to consider! (Pun both intended and not) The comfortability with having strangers getting all up in the our body’s shame center is a true exercise in liberation.

Can’t wait to tell you about the part when I became conscious during the procedure. 😳

I love this post! It is great the way you made it relate to other uncomfortable feelings in life! I got my first one last year… Of course, the prep is the hardest part!
