If you want to read something that will have you in stitches, you MUST be this piece by Dave Barry HERE

I laughed till tears rolled down my face.

jj,
I've had 2 of those horrible tests. Prep is worse than the
actual undertaking. But I hate, hate, hate those things.
Behindular BS! Dave Barry is a funnnnnny duddddddde...
I wanted to laugh, but my mind couldn't get passed the painful prep....

This was over the top funny! Thanks Queen JJ for sharing it. I've had 4 colonoscopies & 3 endoscopies. I must admit, I'm obsessed with knowing my body from a health standpoint. Wide awake during all proceedures i found it so interesting. I actually asked that the screen be placed in Full comfortable view for my curious entertainment. WOW what a trip! My last colonoscopy was the best, it was in Living Color!!! Kinda reminded me of those sycadelic swirrelys from the 60's. LOL OK So maybe I was a little dopey? Ladies, if you've not had one do not fear them, it's really painless. And educational.

Same here. I've had them as well...and the prep IS the worst part. I remember when my sweet Daddy was alive and he had to "prepare" for one. They gave him some stuff to drink called "Go Lightly." Daddy said they should rename it "Go Quickly." God luv him!

jj, Got your sense of humor from daddy, hey.
Love it. My dad was gentle, warm, and loving too. Those colon tests are easy, yes. Can't say as I'd want to be awake and watch it, though, like Qball. I was awake for the birth of my son. That was enough! No need to see what my colon looks like, thank you. Glad Qball enjoyed herself, though! LOL...

jabber, you are so brave. I can't believe you were awake and watching during your colonoscopy. I was totally out of it. Anyone else awake? I don't think they offer that here.

Dotsie,
Q-ball watched the colon test. I watched the birth of my son. I don't know if they let you watch the colon test here or not but I'm not about to ask. Hopefully, I won't need another one of those things ever again. I think lots of women watch their children's birth. I heard others remark along those lines. The link jj posted, is funny. I just have an acute aversion to colonoscopies, "real scoop" or not!
