I had one not too long ago.
There's really nothing to it.
Warning for details I'm about to share
....
I had to take Moviprep the night before.
It's a drink, you erm.. drink it.
I'm telling you now, it's at first bizarre and funny but eventually it's gross and annoying.
It *empties you out.. and I mean Empties you.
I've had Diarrhea before .. and this is not that, this is like someone's poured drain unclogger down your throat. But, i try to see the funny side of shitting water like a hose pipe from my arsehole.
Anyway.
Day of colonoscopy.
Turn up.
Get.changed into gown.
Take a little basket of my things with me.
Lie down on the little bed.
There's a nurse near my head, talking to me.. stroking my hair.. which I thought was weird so i asked her to stop.
She said to have a breath in of some gas and air.
I did.
Behind me, the specialist, talking through what he was going to do.
Basically he's going to shove a camera up me bum.
There was a screen.
I watched the screen.
I could feel the camera moving through my insides.
I didn't feel any pain whatsoever.
It's more like a trapped wind sensation.
anyway, the nurse at my head kept wibbling on about some crap, I wasn't listening, I was watching the monitor.
The little machine had a little tiny tiny pair of a scissor type things and it snipped a couple bits.
The specialist told me where he was roughly.
He then got to like a little door he wasn't allowed in.
He then slowly started reversing.
I made a Beep Beep Beep sound as he did.
Every one laughed...
He got to the end and said,
'hold your breath'
"Why?" I said..
And he pulled and I realised...
I'm not one to have things put up me bum bum but I understand some enjoy it and I may have a small glimpse as to why..
Besides the first blast of gas and air the nurse insisted on, I didn't have any more, she offered a few times but I didn't see the point, I was engrossed in the monitor.. watching the latest episode of "Up Me Arse: Where No One Has Been Before"
They wheeled me into a waiting area.
Offered me a tea or coffee, which I never got btw.. still annoyed at that..
I waited a little while, about 20 minutes.
Did some paper work, got dressed, left.
It hen went to McDonald's and had more burgers than I'd ever had before... I was starving..
...
Tl:Dr -
I had a colonoscopy. There was no pain at all. Felt like trapped wind. The monitor, if you can see it, is fascinating.
All in all, and being totally honest, there's nothing to worry about... In fact.. the Moviprep is worse than the camera.. 🤣🤣
