Am due for colonoscopy v soon. Terrified, find hospitals scary as have MH issues and just shitloads on my plate atm. I think they should do this under local anesthetic/epidural tbh! But only offer sedation and entonox.
Apparently if I go for sedation, I need someone to meet me at the hospital and watch me for 24hrs! I don't have anyone (yes, I know that's pathetic and sad but my life is shite right now).
I don't have DC so that's fine, but I just don't know what to do. Will I be ok and it's just to cover themselves? I don't know how I'll cope after a night of no sleep due to pooing all night with the stuff to clear you out! I don't want to be alone. Worried I will break don in tears in the carpark before I can get a taxi. Am I able to postpone it? Is there any alternative?
Sorry to post again, just not really got anywhere to turn atm
