checking out the end i sit on
my first colonoscopy procedure was a life-affirming experience! each person at the hospital: admissions clerk, nurses, technician, physician - was totally cheerful, supportive, and looking for my best interests. the most frightening episode was parking in a high-rise garage with about an inch clearance between the van roof and the concrete ceiling. i had minimal sedation and was able to watch the procedure and chat with the attending nurses. i will not recount details of the procedure. it seemed to be routine and uncomplicated, at times uncomfortable for me, but my greatest danger was in being bored. was that a pun?
