Hey Paulette...I was getting a SIGMOIDOSCOPY!!! WOW!!!

Just routine but absolutely the worst two week waiting period of my life. Just imagine, a fishing pole rammed up your caboose (large intestine) with NO DRUGS! I'm wide awake during this 2.5 minute procedure. I was an utter emotional zombie thinking about this, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep...kept thinking about this thing probing my 41 year old intestine. ON a 1 to 10 scale of discomfort...I'd say a constant 8.75. Then the doc blows air up me like I'm some kind of helium balloon. Wife said, "Take that pain, honey, and times it by an entire multiple-hour labor session; that's what childbirth feels like." Tweet
