It's the middle of the night. My belly is churning. I can't sleep. So I decide to pass the time with humor, or at least attempting humor.

I once saw some one's post where they refered to colonoscopy as a "tunnel rat". I started to dream up some other names, expressions and comments that fit the moment. Mind you, after 24 hours of clear liquids without solid food and many trips to the "necessary room", I'm a little loopy.

But of course, someone has beat me to it. I found this on several Internet sites........... A physician claims these are actual comments from his patients made while he was performing colonoscopies:
1. "Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before."
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Oh boy, that was sphincterrific!"
5. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
6. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
7. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
8. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out. You do the
Hokey Pokey...."
9. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
10. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must acquit!"
11. "Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
12. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
AND FINALLY (drum roll and cymbal crash.....)
13. "Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, in fact, up there?"

Here are a few of my own. Feel free to add any. :)

My face hurts from laughing. Thanks for sharing the "rewards" of your sleeplessness with us.

When my husband had a colonoscopy, they put him completely out for it. After it was over, the nurse brought me back to his recovery room when it was over. I walked in and there the little angel lay, still sound asleep, but with a HUGE grin on his face. I commented to the nurse "I don't know what they did to him, but apparently he really liked it." The nurse had to leave the room because she couldn't stop laughing.

Versed and Demarol are wonderful things........
When my SIL and I got home after mine, I got kind of upset because I thought I'd gotten no discharge instructions. Susan pulled them out of her purse and handed them to me, apparently I talked to the doctor and the nurse, but remembered nothing........Oh well, I think with that procedure it's the way to go!!!
