True confession time. I am a wuss. I fear neither man nor beast but something far more hideous. A violation of my “personal space”. Being within the “you’re over 50 now” age group, I’ve so far, by hook and crook, and just blowing off appointments, managed to avoid the dreaded colonoscopy. Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s nothing. Everyone I know who’s had it tells me so. It’s just something about the indignity of being knocked out, rolled over, and having a scope shoved up my ass. And I’ll get pictures, too! Anyway, had my first appointment today and scheduled for the procedure next Tuesday. I can hardly wait. Don’t worry, I won’t share the pictures with you.[/quote]
I can’t believe. Our He-Man, Our Past 50 Hercules, My personal role model is afraid of a little black tube? You wear a skirt as it is. I’ve got bad news for you brother, they DON’T knock you out. You just get a little baby tranquilizer and you are wide awake for it. They have to ask you brilliant questions like “Does it hurt there?” and “Do you feel OK?”
If you want to know what real indignity is I can tell you what happened to me in a German “Klinic”, but it is so wretched I would have to p.m. it to you as they might kick me off the forum for telling the story. Doc
Ich weiss alles uber deutschen Kliniken. And if the Lernean Hydra had tried to stick one of it’s heads up Herc’s ass I’ll bet the myth would have come out different. “Little” black tube? Little? There’s no such thing as little when it comes to anything entering a male body orifice. Last Doctor did the “bend over and spread them” thing on me had a hand like Shaq O’Neil.
According to my doctor I’ll be out. He doesn’t really want me awake. In conclusion, I’ve checked my edition of the He-man’s guide and there’s nothing about taking it up the ass like a man. Kinda an oxymoron.

Oh cmon, Hel, if you post something like fear of a colonoscopy you gotta expect a little razzing from your friends. You’re still the man. Doc
I’ve never had one but they usually give you something like valium and a pain killer. You won’t remember a thing. It’ll be over and you’ll be asking,“when are we going to start?”. Much bigger things come out then they’re going to put in. Not that its the same but I turned 40 this year and had to find out that my prostate is located about a fingers length up my ass.
Take the drugs, let them zonk you out. It’s the crap they give you to clean you out which is the real bitch. 3 or 4 hours on the john gets kinda old…Oh, dont try to hold the farts back in the recovery room.
Thanks for the support. I’ll just have to take it like a man…or whatever. Now if he offers a good ceegar afterwards all will be forgiven, Skid. Short swim after work today. Started raining in the middle of it. Weather’s getting cooler so I’ll have to start using the local indoor cement pond soon. Chlorine, oh joy. Doc, if your reading this. Can’t remember if you were posting when Perry O’Brien died. I always think about how he died while competing in Master’s swimming. Back to the gym tomorrow.
Haven’t posted for the last couple of days. Been to the gym but nothing to write home about. Just going through the motions. A very good friend of mine died the other day. Almost all my High School memories involve him. All the sports, parties, girls, great times when we knew we’d live forever and had all the time in the world. Even when I went to in the military we stayed in touch and always got back together when I was home on leave. He was my best man at my wedding and I was his, at least at his first. He went to college and became very sucessful. Enjoyed life and living it. According to his secretary he pulled into the parking lot at work the other morning and never got out of his car. They went to check and he was just sitting there. Massive heart attack.
So if I don’t post for a while it’s cause I may be in jail. Cause after they bury him today I’ll live up to a promise we made to each other probably 35 years ago after watching some stupid old movie. I will proceed to get druck on his grave playing our favorite tunes from times past and dance on his grave at midnight.
Sorry for the downer post.

Yeah, I’m reading Hel, you don’t have to worry about that. And please dont apologize for a downer post…If I did that I’d have to apologize all the time. Life hits you hard every so often, you can’t avoid it. Alabama aint that far from Florida, if I have to post bail for you, I’m in my car.
BTW, I did hear O’Brien died, but didn’t know how. I believe in a “good death,” and that sounds like one of the best I’ve heard. But obviously usually we have no control on when the grim reaper comes…like your friend. Doc
