When I woke up from the colonoscopy the doctor said that I may be sore as they had to "move me" in different positions to get the scope to advance through the sharp turns and it was very severe. I am curious, what made them decide to do the surgery? Do you feel it has helped ? Is your life more normal now? I appreciate your help. When I leave the house I carry a dog poo bag with me so if I have a sudden bout of this (as it happens very quickly and without warning) when the "purge" decides to purge... so that I have something to throw up in while I am having diarrhea. In my house, every bathroom has a bowl near the toilet, although I have had to use waste paper baskets as well.
