Following InstaPundit Glenn Reynolds’ lead, I thought I would share the cause of my blog hiatus last Friday: yielding to the demands of middle age, I submitted to a colonoscopy. The procedure itself was not that bad, but the preparation was horrific: I was forced to drink 96 ounces of TriLyte, the most disgusting concoction known to man. (Cheney and Rumsfeld really missed the boat on this — the Gitmo detainees might have been able to resist waterboarding, but they would have given up all they knew by the 72nd ounce of TriLyte.) Thankfully, I passed the colonoscopy with flying colors (see photo on left) and won’t have to endure another one for ten years.

As a former IRS Revenue Officer, I’ve seen worse.
Gee, I did one too and did not even get a photo. Not exactly my best side.
Be thankful you are (apparently) not over the age of 50. In such case, the colonoscopies are recommended every five years.
Too much information!
Sort of like all your rankings…

Yuk! Couldn’t you hide that beneath the fold and make it optional viewing?
Colonoscopy prep is nothing compared to untreated lactose intolerance. I have pictures, too, but like Joe K., I have no intention of posting them. Some things are best left unseen. 🙂
The prep is horrible, I agree. They have one now that’s just a bunch of pills and an 8-oz. glass of water every 15 minutes – MUCH better. You have to pitch a royal fit about the regular prep to get them to let you do the pill prep, though.
Glad all is well.
Mazel Tov Paul! This is the prettiest picture in the universe. It means you are colon cancer free. Having lost my mother to colon cancer in June after a courageous 30 month battle with routine chemotherapy throughout, I know that a colonoscopy is the best gift you can give to yourself and your family. If my mother had had a colonoscopy a few years earlier she would be healthy and active and alive today. Congratulations to you and your family.
Paul,
Looks very clean to me. Between this and your weekly church group, you should be able to look ahead to years of physical and spiritual health!

I get these things every five years, thanks to colon cancer running in my family via primary relatives, so I know they’re worthwhile. They don’t hurt, thanks to the drugs you get. The worst thing about them is the awful…
