anyone else had a colonoscopy?

I don't ever want one Not ever, ever, ever!!! I almost hate to get older because then I might actually need to get it done. It is good, however, that they sedate you for it, as I can't imagine anyone would ever get it done while awake.

Shame on me. You'd think with all my surgeries, I'd be diligent. I'm not afraid at all. I just haven't made the time with everything else going on. Thanks for the thread and reminder. I have a doc appt coming up, so I'll ask for a script. "An ounce of prevention...."

I can't believe that I am reading this thread. Just today I attended my Rotary meeting and the speaker was one of our own members. He had a colonoscopy PARTY for his birthday. Yes, you read that right - it was his birthday present to himself.

He explained that he knew he should have a colonoscopy because of family history. So for a very important birthday, what he did was ask his very best friends to have one too - as their gift to him.

He is a very funny guy, and he went into great detail about the prep - and that he thought he had time to do some errands. WRONG!

He said he was on the bathroom floor and his buddies were text messaging him from THEIR bathrooms. They all gave him a really bad time.

But right afterwards, he had a huge party for the eight guys.

He wants to start a trend - because guys are famous for not having these tests - and have to be dragged to the Dr's. office.

I missed it, but apparently the whole thing was on our local news.
