OK, So I was scheduled for my once a decade colonoscopy this morning. I did all the prep yesterday and last night. Didn't eat and showed up at the correct time. As the nurse was prepping me for the operation, I told her about my AFIB episode in Minneapolis. (See previous entry). So she hooked me up to a heart monitor, looked at the results, and, with results in hand, said she had to go talk to the doctor. When she came back she said they wanted me to see a cardiologist before I had my colonoscopy and that I was done for the day. Later I talked to the doctor and he said they'd rather not have my heart stop in the middle of looking up my ass (not his words). I agreed that probably wasn't productive, told him my date with the cardiologist was 6 days away and went back to my breakfast.
