    I had one many years ago, it wasn't that bad, uncomfortable and a bit embarrasing but nothing to worry about.
    Hope you recover soon Robert.:)

      Thanks Jack. I really appreciate that. Feel much better.
      Fact is its a Endoscopy first and then maybe the other later depends on what they find.
      Had a brief experiance of the other end a few years back with no sedative or anything.!
      Not even a large plasma.....

      For the endoscopy its a nil by mouth for six hours and a valium seditive, throat,stomach,small intestine.. Could take 2 to 4 hours...!

      Good job it is the Endoscopy first as they use the same tube and camera :heehee:

      If the doc is into gardening then I think he wipes it down first with Jeyes Fluid

          Having recently endured an operation on the 'prostrate' I cna understand your concerns Robert - mine was succesful and back playing golf regularly once again (not very well at the moment but what the heck - I'm OK).

          Best of luck.....

          Hi guys and gals.
          Day after hospital visit.
          Do you really want a blow by blow account of what I went through ?

          I got a feeling the answer to this is going to be a big fat YES..

              OOOH YES PLEASE, ROBERT.!!!!! On a more serious note, I'm glad you obviously got through the experience without strangling the nearest medic. I hope it all works out well, and it could have been worse............it could have been me!!:heehee::D

                  Ok...No gory details.. I`m sure you must watch "Casualty" and get the idea of what I went through.
                  Outcome at this time is I have:
                  Oesophagitis, a Hiatus Hernia and something I cant read or announce.
                  The doc took loads of samples and I am awaiting those results.
                  I have yet another pill to take and back in six weeks to do it all over again.
                  I`m really looking forward to that .......NOT..
                  At least something has been found and I can move on from here.
                  In the meantime the garden stays as it is until my stamina is back and my blood is back to normal. Seems its all wrong at the moment. Platlets, red and white thingies I dont understand. I know about water, but blood is a tad different..
                  I have masses to catch on on the www, but expect me to come back with will and vengence.
                  Catch you all later.
