Great cartoon, thanks!

Get the procedure under anesthesia, I strongly recommend.

I'm amazed that they found the tiny thing, lost as it was amongst all that lower intestine. Must be they found it trapped in the appendix.

And good luck on your procedure. While I'm sure that your appendix, if you still have one, is not harboring damaged and dangerous objects, I hope nothing else is amiss.

Had a flex-sigmoidoscopy. sorta like that but not as far. Thought the female proctologist was having WAY too much fun doing it.

I'm with half on the anesthesia. The local doesn't do shit and it's the gas that bends ya into knots.

Thanks for the kind words folks, don't think it'll be a general as I haven't been interrogated by a gas-passer. But if it's only local I hope it's good, right now I possess an exceptionally sore sphincter that probably glows in the dark. Funny thing is, I've been on nothing but liquids since Sunday morning, and strong purgatives - as if I bloody well need them! That's why I'm getting checked in the first place, because I've been shitting through the eye of a needle for years. All part of the procedure I guess.

I had a colonoscopy once, they were checking for hemorrhoids. The doctor didn't check deeper than 21cm with the scope, so they didn't give me any anesthesia. But I didn't find it particularily painful, but it felt weird when they pumped in gas to expand the intrail. Then the bowl burped and the gas leaked further in, so the doctor had to pump in more gas to see. And then burped again, and so on...

After the procedure I a lot of gas stored, so I went around farting constantly for an hour or so...

They took the whold full-length movie of me innards. It was uncomfortable, but glad I didn't have the drugs to deal with.

Reminds me of a joke:

A man was crossing the street and was hit by a car. He was rushed to the hospital and was declared to be in a coma. When the doctors and nurses hooked him up to the IVs, he kept losing color. The medical staff were desperate, trying to come up with ways of feeding the man.

Later on, one of the doctors announced that he had read in a journal about an alternate way of getting nutrients to the patient: rectal feeding. So, the staff inserted a tube into the man's "other end" and started sending blended and pureed food into his poop chute. The man started to get color in his face again. It was a success!

One day, a nurse felt that the guy might want a little coffee with his breakfast. So, she poured some down the tube. A few minutes later, the man opened his eyes and started screaming! The nurse stopped pouring and asked, "Oh, my! Was that too hot?" The man replied, "Where's the goddamned sugar?!"
