"Now that wasn't so bad after all."

Oh I forgot about this. Really, the colonoscopy was not nearly as bad as I thought. Not bad at all.

Very true - though I'm told that's because the anesthesia guys give you something to make you forget. As long as I never get something that makes me remember, I'm cool with that.

But the prep really sucks.

Having an NG tube run through my nose into my stomach while chugging a cup of water and seeing just how much tube they shoved in my head...

Oh heck no. I was awake having one removed once upon a time. That's when you think "what the ----aaaaaaaaack!"

Root canal. I was prepared for the worst, but it wasn't as bad as I expected.

Nitrous, baby, nitrous. And, having it done by an endodontist.

My personal that-wasn't-as-bad? Birthing 8 lb 14 oz ShallowsSquirt without the benefit of the epidural I had planned on, because it was Thanksgiving night 1992 and the anaethesiolgist (sp?) was jsut totally not there when I arrived at FWB Medical Center, 8 cm dilated...

Reading about Little SC. :roll:

OK...maybe "L'il" was the wrong word to use there! :funn:

It's called Versed. When I had mine it was a Versed / Dermerol cocktail. I felt nothing and remembered nothing...

Nitrous, aka the Truth Serum, aka Laughing Gas. My dentists no longer offer it. Not only do you have to be skilled enough to get the right mix of gas and oxygen, but it attracts burglars.

I am sure I could have gotten through my last root canal without it just fine, but I was inhaling the stuff as fast as I can go. While in the middle of cleaning out my tooth, the dentist was talking with his staff about his basement flooding. For some reason, I got the giggles. Giggles in the middle of a root canal!

That same endodontist had one lady on staff, whose sole purpose (at least while I saw her) was to hold your hand while the novocain was injected and during the procedure. That was really cool. Unfortunately, they no longer practice here
