An odd Prize

I don't understand. David Letterman is giving away a colonoscopy. Great. I'm all for everyone getting one when needed. My old man died of Colon cancer, Sort of. Well it was one of four cancers he had when he died. But it tore him up something fierce.

Colon Cancer is not fun. Anything you can do to prevent it , again, I'm all for. But Flying to New York to get a colonoscopy Just seems very odd to me. Personally I wanted want it, even though I have never been to New York and would love to go there.

Its just that when I had My colonoscopy, I spent the day previous to the test drinking this lovely stuff that made me become very familiar with the Toilet, luckily sitting down, rather than facing it, puking. But still, its not like I would want to go around town sight seeing while getting prepared for a colonoscopy.

Then there was the day of, again, not a great day for sightseeing or anything else. It wasn't due to the pain or anything. More due to the knockout drugs they gave me. They worked wonders at knocking me out. Not conducive for visiting anything, other than the inside of my eyelids.

Now if I had a week added on before or after the test, then I'm all Game. Somehow I don't think so, though.

By the way, everything checked out fine, thanks for asking.

i had one doctor tell me once that i needed a colonoscopy and i freaked out. he told me himself that it would be unpleasant. it was a good thing i got a second opinion and was told i didn't need one after all. but i guess when i grow older i would at least need one or two checks. i dread that day
Grace, I would hope you could talk to other folks that have had the test done. I found by far the worst of it was doing the prep the day before. The test itself , at least for me, was a breeze.

Please don't dread the test. It could literally save your life. With My Dad, he hated Doctors and didn't go to get checked out for Colon Cancer till he saw blood in his stool, and it was way too late by then. He suffered terribly for years with the results of having to have his colon removed. It wasn't pleasant at all and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
