I hated absolutely everything to do with my colonoscopy. First - the crap they give you to drink the night before .....it was absolutely foul. I didn't mind the not eating bit stuff but that stuff to drink was just horrible. I was supposed to be awake for the procedure, which I guess is the norm. MY norm is to weep pitifully when something I don't like is about to happen.......I lay there snivelling quietly and this angel from heaven, aka the colonoscopy guy asked me if I wanted to go to sleep. The most wonderful words I ever heard.! I woke up - it was done.....I swore I'd never have another but I suspect I will.
