My first colonoscopy to be exact.
My sister drove me to the hospital and talked to the nurses to see if they needed her for.anything My sister said to chew a piece or gum for my breath so I wouldn’t offend the doctor and nurses
I told my sister, "Some how, I don’t think they are easily offended
" We both laughed and she said, "Now THAT’S funny
"
They want you to get your first colonoscopy when you’re 50. I’m 42 so i have eight years to go. That’s one i’m not super excited about. Hope yours went well.
The actual procedure was not bad
They knocked me out for it so there was no pain or uncomfortableness. Preparing for it sucked though. I could only eat certain foods and I had to drink a gallon of solution to clean me out
I thought the anesthesia was cool. One minute I’m laying on a gurney and someone asked me what I did for a living. I told them I was a janitor and the next thing I knew I woke up in a different room and it was over. No pain.
But once again, why is it that every time I go to the urologist or proctologist or any other embarrassing doctors visits, the nurses are all drop dead gorgeous? It never fails. Is god playing a trick on me to only humiliate me in front of attractive women?
I would ask one of them out but I think the fun mystery of a very first date is pretty much over by that time.
Yeah i had to have my gall bladder removed a couple years ago and that’s how it went. One minute i was talking to the anesthesiologist, she put something in my IV and the next moment i was waking up without a gall bladder in recovery. Easy peesey.
Go ahead ask them out. They already know a lot about you.
My parents are in their 70s and have never had it done.
Glad you got through ok matey. I’m coming up to one in the next couple of years!
Here’s to years of good physical health my friend!
That ticks me off. I have at least two of these per year and I’m always concious. Grrr. One of those things I’d prefer not to remember experiencing. That, and spinal taps.
Yikes! 
Why don’t they put you under anesthesia?
I have no bloody clue.
