I am lying in an outpatient bed recovering from my colonoscopy. Three polyps had to be removed and I am now Going to eat.
A lot.

Glad to hear it! I assume you are on a restricted diet for 24 hours to let the lesions heal?
(HNY, BTW)

Ouch! Hope you recover quickly. Is gin good for healing scar tissue I wonder?
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Congratulations.
I just scheduled my first date with the butt-o-scope for March. I'm worried more about post-anesthesia migraine (I get migraines anyway) than I am the procedure itself.

Apart from having a sodding great tube stuck up my bum, the worst part is cleaning out for 24 hours before with laxatives

Three liters of salty-tasting water?
I hope someone told you to add some Grenadine.

aah, I'll remember that one for the next time

No. Worry more about the anesthesia wearing off before they finish.
Trust me.

Ouch!
Enjoy good food now.
Veni, vidi, vici.

I hope you had a crack surgeon.

That reminds me of being a tender teen, literally, while recovering from twisted testicle (sounds like a bad heavy metal band).
I particularly remember having my testies displayed for the delectation of a number of medical students. (To be fair, they did check I was OK with it first).

Did they pump you full of "Milk of Amnesia"?
My spousal-unit unit said I kept asking the same questions with the sound of conviction that I had not asked the question before.
So warned, when she had a procedure, sure enough, she kept looking around the room every few minutes and would ask, "How did I get here?" The last she remembered was the start of the procedure. She did that about 4 or 5 times before she started forming more permanent memories. She's still hazy about it.
I've had it so many times I was beginning to wonder if I was suffering leakage (not what you think) and I was losing memories, not just from the time around the procedures.
Once I complained that my coworkers were giving me files that were not in the form I could use them. They said they had always given them to me in that form. So as I was about to write a program to transform the data, I stumbled across a program that already did it. Looking further, it was written in my style. I started vaguely remembering that when they gave me the files the first time and they weren't in the form I needed, I said, "That's OK, I figure out something."
Seems I lost an entire afternoon writing that program that vanished from my memory and it was not near to any of the times I was having a procedure (colonoscopy and/or endoscopy).
I started taking notes like I was pre-Alzheimers, just so it would never happen again.
