Open Wiiiiide

This afternoon I went for my colonoscopy, not best way to kill some time let me tell you. I have to say the staff at the Lakeshore Hospital were very nice and did a good job with me. I was escorted to a room and told to remove everything 'below the waist', put on those famous hospital gowns and hop a stretcher.

Everything was pretty normal until they started jabbing me with a needle to get an intravenous in me, then suddenly I got all woozy, dizzy, hot and light-headed...all this BEFORE they start medicating me..

I calmed down after a while and the wifey joined me to wait for my turn. My mom also works at the hospital so she stopped by for a visit. When my turn was called I was wheeled into the operating room and then fed some funny drugs..they sorta put me out of it...but I was aware enough to answer questions and all that.

The procedure itself is pretty painless until they really start to dig deep and then it feels like your gut may explode..the pain waves passed in and out of my guts..then it was all over...I was wheeled back into the waiting room with Wifey.

I left soon after that, with a killer upset stomach and the need for food. I'm slowly recovering now. I should be fine by tomorrow.

So, any of you folks out there doing this test and are nervous...I survived.
