I am shitless....and a prisoner in my own home.
 

yes, I am. I have a colonoscopy tomorrow,
1) whoever says I am full of shit - is WRONG,
not today!

2) I can't move over 20 feet from the bathroom.

I'd rather be full of it.
:(

Get a laptop and stay in the toilet...

Oy, that's a bad, bad afternoon you've got in store for you. :(

Re: I am shitless....and a prisoner in my own home.
 

but tomorrow I'll be rewarded with double penetration!

Colonoscopy from one end,
stent removal from another!!!!

The worst part is..
I'll be asleep and miss all the actions!
;)

I recently had a colonoscopy. People react differently to sedation. I've had people tell me they slept through the entire thing. I have an extremely high tolerance for medication, so I just got a mild buzz. They pumped something into me whenever I cramped though, to kill the pain.

Serge, tell them you have a very, VERY low pain threshold. Turn into a whiney weakling if you have to. Make sure they give you enough juice. :)

Other than that, just relax and watch the monitor. It's really fascinating. And keep repeating to yourself "doing this could save my life, doing this could save my life." That really helps a *lot.* :)

My Dad had colon cancer, they caught it early, and other than having to have a lot of colonoscopies, that's all that came of it.

And while I was multitasking....

If you're going to be out cold, this won't bother you at all. :)

Re: I am shitless....and a prisoner in my own home.
 

I will only say ... ouch, and good luck, and tell them you only want "a little off the top".

Morgan,
I went thru the anathtesia twice last month. I don't remember a thing. plus...because I am having 2! procedures, they hopefully give me enough to go thru both.
I don't wanna wake in a middle like a 2 bit hooker and ask:
"Are you done yet"?
;)

heheheheh

I actually woke up (literally, I'd fallen asleep) in the middle of my tubal ligation. The birth of the youngest was such a rush and I was so excited, that I wore myself out and fell asleep. I'd had a spinal block, so that took care of the anesthesia. However, they scrambled to put the curtain in place so that I didn't see my doctor cutting me open. A face appeared above my head and said "HI! How are you doing?" brightly to change my focus. My doctor *did* keep the joking promise he'd made to me in his office...and said "oops!" during the surgery. Oh, my, you should have seen the nurses freeze! I laughed and told them he'd set that one up, it was cool.

Operating room humor. Gotta love it.:)

The last time I had a scoping, it was for my stomach. They used some light weight stuff, just enought to barely put me out. When they woke me up, I jumped up, and, according to my mother who was with me, said to the doc, "Jesus! Is that all you got? That didn't even fuck me up more than 2 bong hits! Where is the nearest Chinese resteraunt?"

My mom was not amused, but the Doctor was rolling on the floor.

Ah yes, Squishy. The endoscopy. The stuff they gave me didn't touch me at all. It was...unpleasant. When they did the "lie here and wait until it wears off before you leave" *I* got unpleasant, snarled "wait until WHAT wears off?" and got out of there.
