im supposed to go to hospital on friday for a camera down throat (endoscopy) and a camera up bum (sigmoidoscopy)

my appointment is 2:30pm but is only a guide apparently.
a nurse comes to my house in the morning to administer an enema and i cannot eat or drink after 7:30am

how the hell do i manage without food and drink? i tend to get low blood sugar and go all faint and shaky after a couple of hours anyway and i am due on which is always worse.

they arent even sedating me and you fart like hell afterwards apparently in a gown on a mixed ward!

oh bugger dont think i can go through with it.

She's tough as an old boot, cheeryface! She said it was the most unpleasant experience of her life. She had to have 'stretching' done which meant they inserted wider tubey things down as her oesophagas has almost closed over 3cm, and she has to go back to have it done again - it's excruciatingly painful apparently .

What happened with your doctor?
