@funcountess The problem was that they couldn't get me into the twilight zone and so they kept pumping more stuff into me. They never did get me into that twilight zone and afterwards they sent me home and told me I must eat, which was crazy. I collapsed in the street. I am only a small person and the emergency Dr couldn't believe what they had used. Happily, I am still here! I also know 3 people who had their colon ruptured and one of them died. She was only 42 years old, so that test shouldn't be taken likely.
I haven't done my walk today and I'm feeling guilty. I think I will have a cup of tea and try and walk.

@pollyanne.. Oh my goodness, that's really scary. I'm glad you are doing well now. My friend 's sister had a terrible experience too. My experience was ok, but I didn't want another one, I asked my gastrointestinal doctor what alternatives are out there and we agreed on Cologuard. Fortunately everything came back OK. Have you had another procedure after that one?
