I disrupted the proceedure by singing "Sentimental Journey". The Staff had to recover from laughing.
I declined anaesthesia because I dislike Fentanyl, and in my life, so many people had told me to take that journey that I was intent on seeing what the attraction was. It was actually very interesting.
My PCP asked how it went, and looked worried when I said, "It was FUN, and I get to do it again in a few years!!!"
So a colonoscopy is survivable without anaesthesia? I'm thinking of getting one, but the general anaesthesia part scares me just as much as the procedure itself. If anesthesia is not necessary during a colonoscopy, this gives me something to think about.
