There have been a lot of improvements since my last colonoscopy ten years ago. Firstly, the prep no longer includes that disgusting liquid. I just had to take four laxative tablets, and drink a full bottle of Miralax mixed with 64 ounces of Gatorade. And the actual procedure is also less disturbing. The sedative is much milder. I drifted off within seconds and 20 minutes later was talking coherently.
Nevertheless, I'm thrilled I don't have to go through another colonoscopy until 2022. Hopefully ten years from now I'll still be as healthy as I am today. But, honestly, it's hard to imagine myself at 70-years-old. I just can't go there. I prefer instead to simply enjoy my 60s as best I can.
