Colonoscopy behind me...





Yesterday I had a colonoscopy in this beautiful hospital. For such an embarrassing procedure, I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed being there! The previous day was not a lot of fun, having to drink 3L water + various laxative concoctions, and my bottom was very sore, but the actual day was a pleasure.

The building is new and beautiful to look at, clean and hygienic, with every mod con. The office and nursing staff, anaesthetist and gastroenterologist were competent, respectful and friendly. No waiting. Philip dropped me off at 11:30am and picked me up about 2pm. Somebody from the hospital rang at 8am today to make sure I'm all right.

For a grumpy old woman like me, it's surprising that I have nothing but praise! I really do appreciate modern medical science and the fact that I was born in a 1st world county. Millions of others are not so fortunate.
