Told me the part they removed had pockets prone to getting diverticulitis. Discovered it with the colonoscopy. During the colonoscopy he woke me up enough to show me and talked about me having pockets causing the problems where most people had polyps. Said if I had polyps he could cut them out during the colonoscopy. Said just that section seem to be prone to the pockets and the rest was okay. Honestly all I could tell in the videos he was showing me is that some parts were inflamed looking, I didn't see any pockets.

When he told me about cutting the polyps out he explained it cauterizes as it cuts it out. Then I commented that since they used gas to inflate my colon to see everything wouldn't cauterizing make it explode! They thought that was pretty funny. Then I said I was happy I did't have any polyps so I wouldn't blow up and went back under.

When I woke up in recovery from the colonoscopy the anesthesiologist came in and asked if I remembered being woken during the procedure. Told her I just barely remember them showing me pictures on the screen and me asking if they were going to make me explode. She got all upset and said that she had asked if I was awake and I said I was cognizant. I asked if I actually used the term cognizant and she said yes. I said I didn't even know I knew that word.
