Are we talking colonoscopy here? or some female thing. I don't think I can fake that one.

Deal of course. How often does part of your body become a public event, even if it is just some blood.

Naw, get whoever you can. My wife takes off work early and trains down to the medical center whenever I have some little thing. How can they know how much agony and fear we are in, if they can't hear us bitch about the magazines in the waiting room?


Love, James

thanks, I didnt want to sound like a wimp but Im about to ask 2 friedns for 2 differnet appoints in which they will have to take off work. I know they will come, but I didn't want to be a big baby. One test requires that I not come alone so the wimp factor can hide under that, but the other... Im a wimp ; )

d

Except a colonscopy.

For that they'll have to heavily sedate me starting at the preparation stage. Ummmm, I guess that means holding me somewhere as well, considering what the preparation stage entails.

My docs have been bugging me to get one. :(

Don't like the way they make me feel.

After my c-section, I had to argue with the doctor and nurses to take out my epidural and to let me make do with that extra strength Tylenol.

You just can't please some people. You don't like getting high while naked in a room full of strangers, and you don't like having a garden hose crammed up your *ss. Is there anything you do like?
