OH has gone for a routine bowel scope screening tonight. The way he was going on you would have thought he was going to fight the Taliban, I was tempted to put the Vera Lynn records on. Anyone had this done, should I feign concern, get a hot water bottle ready? Or just laugh when he comes back and tell him next time he should come back as a woman and would know what probing was all about?

I've had it done several years ago...mildly sedated and don't remember much about it!
I would feign concern and then laugh later, when he's gone to bed.
Oh, he has my sympathy, I'd rather do anything else!
My son had it done. He said it wasn't too bad.
The nurse and doctor will put him at ease.
oh. tea . sympathy, and a soft cushion to sit on > !
Echo anne's advice -then you could mention about cervical smears occasionally ... oh! and also investigations when you've had a bit of unexpected bleeding. Just gently, mind.
and a mammogram.!

Thanks guys -It took a lot of persuading for him to decide to go so I won't be too harsh on him ;-)
I always have a problem with deciding if what I want to post is actually appropriate so I apologise if this isn't. I can't say that I like it but it is an annoying catchy ditty.

jourdan2 that was how I persuaded him to go, a graphic account of my latest smear test and last years mammogram, men have it so easy with one less orifice to probe lol! One little tube up their bum and its like the end of the world.

Wolf I might just play that to him when he comes back -apparently he's calling in the pub on the way home so will hopefully be a bit more jolly than when he left .

You are all big girl blouses..........

That above is the Colonoscope of yesteryear....8 inches of cold steel stuck up your backside with usually no anesthetic or sedation.

The modern Colonoscope, flexible and with sedation.

Stop moaning.
He'll have to stand at the bar, I should think. I hope his feet are ok.
excellent wolf....LITTLE tube ?

Sqad, he's going Private so he'll probably get a G&T afterwards and a massage by a scantily clad nurse (in his dreams)
Retro....LOL......and he gets the choice of her "poking him" OR him "poking her"

Always go private with BUPA :

Bum Uppermost Pleasantly Anesthetised.

Well he's back home, they found a polyp 1 cm so he has to go for further investigation and another screening. He said it wasn't that bad and there was no sedation but he was offered gas and air which he did not use (big brave hector) LOL. Oh and he came back with a bloody picture of the thing, I said he should put it on FB like the expectant mothers put their scans on ...
Go on, do it for a laugh!

Tilly I will blame you lol!
I don't do Facebook. You can't blame me! Blame your OH.
