I know this is way more information than you bargained for, but just shy of the 24-hour mark of fasting, during which I forced down four liters of a citrus-flavored polyethylene glycol solution to pave the way for this morning’s “Roto-Rooter” medical procedure, sans a “twilight” sedation, at Ospedale San Bortolo in beautiful downtown Vicenza — it went fine, thanks for asking — I was famished.
Sputtering home with my tank pointing well past empty, I could think of only one thing: FOOD.
Suffice it to say, the late-morning ingest hit the spot and I feel like I’m almost back to normal. Here’s what the pheast looked like — via my iPhone 5, not an endoscope — before I attacked it like a pheeding phrenzy along the Serengeti Plain.

Great post, especially your sense of humor–I’m surprised that you could go full Italian meal after your cleansing.
I was STARVED. The pheast went down sooooo well.
Quirky post, Tom. And you know I love a bit of quirk 😉
Lady Puddingshire — As James Bond used to say, “Q, hand me the endoscope.”
I have to admit I’m impressed! Vicina
Don’t be. It was just a routine procedure without much discomfort, even when you wave off the “twilight” sedation. With three female attendants — 1 doc, 2 nurses — looking on, I couldn’t very well cry in front of them. 🙂
I’m NOT doing the ph-test with you today; I’m just not!! 🙂 Glad all went well. Having done this once and not being able to keep down all nasty liquid, I can empathize. Your feast looks wonderful, per usual. I also did food today, which I don’t usual do, at least in photos. 🙂
Maybe you could do a movie sequel to “Ender’s Game.” BWG.

It was a simple colonoscopy and not an attempt to annihilate mankind. 🙂
It was more the end part the brought this to mind. 🙂
I figured I’d be made the butt of a lot jokes. Thanks!
I’m just glad everything came out OK.
SANS twilight sedation??? You are a brave soul.
This feast looks quite fantastic!
Pardon the pun, but I wanted in and out of there as quickly as possible. I was back out on street in 45-min. and devouring that breakfast pheast in about 90-min. Kinda like calf roping at a rodeo.
non lo sapevo che dovevi fare quell’esame molto noioso e fastidioso,senza anestesia sei forte!!
Era routine e ho scelto di sottoporsi senza anestesia locale, come ho fatto l’anno scorso. La biopsia è tornato negativo e sto bene. Io non dovrò farlo ancora per altri tre anni.
Hmmm….a quickie 😉
I’d rather be asleep…wait. That sounds weird now. Whatever.
As long as you’ve still got your appetite, everything’s good! 😉
Everything’s swell.
What a feast indeed
Thanks, JB.
la dieta, terribile di verdure bollite e tristi..stracchino e prosciutto cotto,niente?
…..
Stavo affamato e apprezzato il pane fresco con burro e marmellata, formaggio brie, pomodorini, uova sode, prosciutto cotto e caffè.
pensaso fosse troppo ,subito dopo l’esame..quando ritorno un buon pranzetto speciale assieme alla Lucia..
il vino c’è ancora
Con piacere. Buon viaggio!

Scrumptious photos, Tom. I am glad to hear you are ok. Your health is ok, now?
Paula — I’m fine. It was just a scheduled, routine procedure.
Good 🙂
