Lucky me

To celebrate my 55th birthday in three days from now I'm treating myself to an early present. I'm having a colonoscopy done. I'm nervous about it and any funny comments, jokes, and puns are welcome to help me along. I'll start things off with: Soon it will all be behind me. Go ahead TBers, rip me a new one.

If the doctor keeps both hands on your shoulders while examining you, worry.

How about " this will confirm where my head is really located".

Or "Doc, I don't know whether to worry that it will hurt, ...or that it doesn't!"

Show up for the exam with a funnel, some gerbils, and a tube of KY. Say it's all that your health plan will cover.

Is this a routine exam or do have a specific reason for the procedure?

Note: there is a class action suit against a manufacturer of the Fleet Soda product designed to 'clean you out' for such a procedure. Make sure they don't give that to you (I'm sure they won't).

If it is routine, it's a no brainer. IME, no pain, in fact I went to sleep. In and out (Ha!) in an hour or 90 minutes.

Good luck.

Is your wife going with you? My wife went with me, but she sat out in the waiting room during the exam. And then I drove home. Whee!

Tell the Dr. you will be happy to autograph the pics.

The only serious advice I would give is: It's worse in your mind than it will be in your @$$.

That sounds like a *****-y birthday present...

If he asks you if you like gladiators, don't eat the fish.

1. If you feel a tickle at the back of your throat, the doc went too far.
2. Amuse the doc - paint a big target on your @$$.

Happy birthday (in a few days).

get a boombox and a CD of the old Dr. Who theme...play it during the procedure on repeat...

it'll look just like this: well at least to you as you'll be loopy on demerol or something...

just if you really see logos or Dr. Who, make sure they remove them.
