Oh God, oh God, oh God.... (snort!!!)

My sentiments exactly! I was reading it to my hubby, SirKit, and there were times that I just had to stop, because I was laughing so hard I couldn't even get the words out! I was crying, laughing!

I definitely gotta send this link to my siblings and siblings in law, both as a reminder, and a 'funny. It will also go to all my girl cousins, because we're all 'of an age' that this will have to be added to the Pap and Mammo, but thankfully, we won't have to have THIS one every year!

I'm guessing the anesthesia is like what I had recently when I was in the hospital for a heart problem. They did a Trans-Esophageal Echo, and a Cardiac Conversion, which is essentially a little zap to the heart to get it back into normal rhythm. I don't remember anything about either, except I have a vague memory of gagging when the stuck the tube down my throat for the TEE. One minute I was singing James Taylor with the nurse, and the next thing I remember was waking up in the room where they were going to do the Heart Catheterization for which I WAS awake, but didn't care what they were doing. ;o) It was after that they put me back under for the conversion. I remember them attaching little pads to my chest, then I woke up again a little later with no memory of anything else they did.

SirKit walked with me as they rolled me from the TEE test to the Heart Cath lab, and he said I talked to him, but I have absolutely NO memory of it. Them was some GOOD drugs!

There isn’t a tube with a colonoscopy. They just put a needle in your arm. If they have you count, it is 100, 99, 98 and the next thing you know, you are awake in recovery. We were actually laughing and then I was gone.
