Tarah's Scopes at Sick Kids

Tarah's long awaited appointment for a colonoscopy and a endoscopy was today. She has been great for preparatory part of the scopes. It involves drinking a strong laxative with no food for over 24 hours. We arrived at the hospital at 8 a.m. And spent most of the entertaining ourselves with walks, drinking lots of fluids, walking around the hospital and sharing quality time in the toilet. Tarah went into the procedure room (the operating theatre, if you're Indian) at 3:45 p.m. Assuming that I wouldn't be needed immediately, I went downstairs for a cup of coffee only to be called back to the fourth floor to talk to one of the doctors in the procedure room. It turns out that Tarah has a large polyp in her colon and the good doctor wanted my permission to cut the damn thing out (polypectomy). Yes, I say, yes. Cut the fucker out! I am writing now to pass the time and let my two loyal readers updated. The polyp they found was large (a little smaller than a golf ball). So, polyp removed, biopsy done and am now waiting for Tarah to come out of her sleep.
