Jabber & Dotsie,
Hopeully, you'll never need a chance to ask to view your colonoscopy. I did have to ASK, it certainly wasn't an offered option, except for the last one. I watched my c-sections too. 1st one I had them take down that sheet in front of me. 2nd one I had an aid hold a mirror. Must admit sleeping quite soundly through a pin, plate and 9 screws in my ankle and 5 yrs later a liver transplant. LOL took about 27 hours to wake up from the L.T. & about 10 minutes to get the breathing tube out!! I wanted to TALK! They gave me a pen & paper?? It's so difficult to explain on paper just how upset you're getting cause you can't talk. I don't have any goofy goory illness to see sicko crud. I'm just very curious.
Happy Health All, this next week is another super busy one for me. Catch up asap. QB

Q ball,
Holy Hanna, you're an expert on that surgery stuff. I pray all is well with you now! Take good care of yourself, girl!
Prayers and blessings...

Oh. My. Goodness. I have laughed my head off. Just had mine this morning. The prep stuff wasn't delish, but it wasn't horrific either. Mine came in a bottle that I mixed with water. I got it really cold and downed it. My advice - once you start, don't stop.

The part about the seatbelt on the toilet really cracked me up. I met Dave Barry a few years back after he spoke at the Erma Bombeck Writers' Conference. Love his sense of humor.

Thanks for sharing that link!
