Or is that too much information? <BR/><BR/>I recall wishing that the 'butt tech' had been within my reach ... she who told me it would be painless!Gillian Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075628273664457571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865695.post-52989353036593456682008-07-31T22:16:00.000-04:002008-07-31T22:16:00.000-04:00Oh, no, I got those photos from an article about p...Oh, no, I got those photos from an article about polypectomies...I don't think most of us would tout our colonoscopy photos around like sonograms of the baby. Or maybe I'm underestimating the narcississm of myself and my fellow Baby Boomers.<BR/><BR/>Hey, really, Gillian, it wasn't bad. This was my third one. I'm getting used to the icky prep, which is the only really obnoxious part. Once you get in there it's almost pleasant to experience a controlled, fluffy escape from consciousness in the name of health.Macy Swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123353580925472976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865695.post-66006936393290573082008-07-31T20:12:00.000-04:002008-07-31T20:12:00.000-04:00oooooh yikes!

No one gave me photos, at my first one, five years ago!Gillian Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075628273664457571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865695.post-61201838078565739052008-07-31T14:55:00.000-04:002008-07-31T14:55:00.000-04:00What??

I expect more of you. <BR/><BR/>Yah, at least "shrinkage" is one indignity women don't have to worry about. But that doesn't come close to making up for periods, menopause, stirrups and various gynecological tools created by Mephistopheles. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I'm not bitter.Macy Swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123353580925472976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865695.post-51186415946390047302008-07-31T13:56:00.000-04:002008-07-31T13:56:00.000-04:00Gross, Macy.My "butt techs' from a couple years ag...Gross, Macy.<BR/><BR/>My "butt techs' from a couple years ago were also from the opposite sex. Fairly intimidating and I'm still bitter about it.
