Hi everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share something with you all and ask for your positive energy, vibes, and prayers. My dad is going into the hospital tomorrow for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. He’s been preparing for this all weekend, following the strict prep instructions, and as you can imagine, he’s quite anxious about the whole procedure.

The preparation process has been quite rigorous for him, and it’s been hard to watch him go through it. He’s had to follow a very restrictive diet and take various medications to prepare his body for the procedures. The anticipation and uncertainty have been weighing heavily on him, and it’s been a challenging time for our family.

As the day of the procedure approaches, I can see the anxiety building up in him. He’s trying to stay positive and calm, but I know he’s worried about what the doctors might find and the overall experience of having the camera put down into his stomach.

I would really appreciate it if you could send some positive energy, vibes, and prayers his way. Your support means the world to us, and knowing that we have friends like you who care and are thinking of him will definitely help ease some of the stress and worry.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and support. It truly makes a difference during times like these.

    I will definitely pray.

    I’m having my third colonoscopy on Tuesday, and start taking the prep meds tomorrow afternoon.

    It’s not too bad, especially after you get your system mostly cleaned out. The day of they give you great drugs, you barely remember anything and don’t care that the procdure is happening. From the time they inject the sedative until you come out of it, it seems like no time passes, it’s all over without relly being aware of it.

    It’s not too bad.
