Truth be told the colonoscopy is nothing... I was fully asleep both times. The prep for it just sucks though... if only someone could invent a solution that does the job without tasting like old spit. I can usually get the first 8 oz down, but after that, I have to really fight it.
Oh and as someone said, stay close to the WC... and bring reading material. Sheesh. Just when you think it is over... whoosh!
You were likely in twilight and not really asleep. I thought they put me completely under, but I was told that no, it was an amnesiac drug(twilight). Just like my hand surgery, I don't remember a darn thing about the procedure. The prep, not eating and the "cleansing" sucked, but boy did the the lunch afterward taste oh so good.
@Stormcrowe,
Wish all goes well.
