So how 'bout them Braves?
I know you, much like my wife, are thinking to yourself "Gee Mark, aren't you 'sposed to get a colonoscope this year?"
Well yeah. Thanks alot for reminding me.
Believe it or not, I'm not too thrilled with the thought of having to go through that "procedure" again. Also I'm not too thrilled with seeing THAT doctor again.
The last time I had it done, the doctor decided to go "light" on the sedative... To start with anyway. They didn't knock me out as well as they should've.
Mistake. Mistake. Mistake.
You see, without knocking me out-- COLD, the jaws of life wouldn't be able to seperate my asscheeks. Not to mention the fact that in that semi-buzzed state of not enough anesthesia, I turned into a cage fighter when anybody got close to me. When they finally snuck up and jabbed me with another needle they clobbered me with more than enough stuff. Think Marlin Perkin's dartgun vs. charging wildebeest. Goodnight wildebeest, safety through chemistry.
When I woke up after "the act" (hate calling it "procedure"), I vaguely remember Leslie telling me that they have to watch my breathing because "they gave you alot of medicine". I remember thinking "Yeah. Somebody almost got wounded." then I fell back asleep. A bit later I woke up mad as hell because I could recall what went on during "the act". Thankfully they had given me some drug, that when it finally kicked in, I couldn't recall much of anything. Dumbass serum I guess.
Two weeks after "the act" I had to go to the doctor's office to go over the results. He's the one I don't particularly care for. He's pretty stoic, there's an understatement, calling him "pretty stoic" is like saying water is kinda wet. Anyway, after he gives me the results from "the act" he quietly walks me out to the receptionist desk, as we get to the front desk I turn and I hug him. Bear hug. Right in front of his staff, God, and everybody.
Why did I hug him? Payback. That's the only thing I can figure, that or we bonded "in that special way" when I was heavily sedated.
NO. It was definitely payback.
