Daily Living With Crohn's Disease and Colonoscopies

So lets talk about what we don't want to talk about.  The dreaded Colonoscopy.  My last experience one of many was horrible.  Before I had always had to drink down the dreaded gunk and make love to the toilet.  Last time they gave me pills that you drank with liquids.  I kid you not, I had to take a bucket in our van and use on the way to my procedure.  Now they wanted me to have another one done recently and I am just so disgusted with my quality of care and the fact that they called me and told me I had to figure out how to get it approved that I cancelled it.  I was warned by a friend whose father had crohns and ended up getting punctured on one of his routine procedure, not to let them use it as a regular routine on me.  Furthermore, I explained that last time I had a procedure it was over the top with the big D, that I had to bring a bucket.  They really acted like they could care less.  Well lets see one of them or their loved ones drive 45 miles using a bucket and see how big of a deal it is.  Needless to say they said I could take the medicine till I ran clear.  Oh really, after how many procedures and now you tell me.  There is a lack of understanding of our daily lives with the people who are in charge of caring for us.  Before becoming a GI they should have to live with a flaring crohn's patient for 24 hours and really see what it's like to be in our shoes, I think the quality of care would be a lot better! Sorry, just saying.
