And I'm going for tea too.. bye for now my friends

Babe, If you need to talk will be around (msn and otherwise) virtually all day tomorrow (Friday)

Serephina, you are in a bl***y mess, aren't you? I thought I was, but you really have all the problems going. I hope you manage to get sorted out.

And after the -oscopy, you'll have a sore throat for a couple of days, but not much else. Just go ahead and pretend you're the doctor examining your insides. Forget they're your own insides.

And here are some - somethign for all eventualities.

Right kid, listen to me. I am exactly like you regarding strange things being shoved down me throat (yeah, yeah, there are exceptions, but that's voluntary!) & also have health probs which make them unwilling to give me a general.

I utterly 100% point blank refused to have it done without being totally out. Eventually they agreed. They make you stop smoking 24 hours ahead, which is a pain & they give you oxygen mask 6 hours ahead, which is a hassle. They feed you valium or whatever beforehand & you honestly don't remember going under, when you wake up you just have a bit of a sore throat & feel like you had a few too many drinks last night; you will no doubt doze off again.Apparently you only have to be totally out for a matter of minutes.

I am the worlds stroppiest, most cowardly patient.

so yoou are not awake at all? all thesites ive read say you are awakebut relaxed..i will need a sledge hammer, out compltely ornot at all. i will give hell for a general..thats if he even wants one of these

No.. not awake.. just responsive enough to do as you are told.. but you won't even know it..

not sure i like the sound of that..dead to the world sounds ok though

I was awake for mine.. and it was okay...

Ask VV, G was asleep for his and could hardly remember what was said to him when he met the consultant about 2 hours later..

I will panic..its like a phobia.

I was totally knocked out but i had to raise hell for being able to be so. I think i only succeeded cos i was so much trouble. But as i say, i suspect they only actually had me knocked out for a very short time.

zdt

i will just refuse if they say no, cant force me

Indeed.

zdt

You need to know, babes. Just bear with it!

I will try

Glad to hear it! We are here if you need us!

thank you
