Too apprehensive, as it happened - I started to feel faint soon after the laxatives started to kick in. Now I've fainted many times before and I'm comfortable with it, but sitting on the toilet mid-colonoscopy-prep is about the worst possible time to have the urge to just lie down....<br /><br />Luckily I recovered soon enough and the rest of the evening passed (that was accidental!) without incident. I didn't find the drinks as horrible tasting as had been promised. I spent a lot of time on the toilet, of course, but I was never nauseous. <br /><br /><i>It was also quite possibly the greatest sandwich ever created.</i><br />Yes! I don't actually remember eating the sandwich - most of my memory from the hour or two after waking up vanished, and I can only recall the sensation of having a sandwich to eat.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-61653661245368655682012-07-03T11:41:13.908+10:002012-07-03T11:41:13.908+10:00Cam's dad's a gastro-intestinal surgeon.

For most, such things are an example of what is wrong with the Internet. For those who deride such personal accounts argue that blogging about a colonoscopy is akin to describing a bout of chronic explosive diarrhea. "Too much information" some say. <br /><br />Not me. I can't get enough of such intimate details that probe deeply into the human condition.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I am disappointed in your entry, Natalie. Most other blog entries come with high resolution photos of what the procedure reveals. You omit such photos. Why? I why retain such photos? Why not release them in into the receptacle the that is the World Wide Web?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
