Oh that sucks. My husband has Crohn's disease and has had several colonoscopies- he always says the prep is way worse than the procedure itself. At least you have good drugs to look forward to.

Really? What do they give you?

I don't know but he's completely fucked up for the remainder of the day and has a good ol' time.

Endoscopy/colonoscopy drugs are usually midazolam (trade name Versed, a relative of Valium) and an opiate (Demerol or Fentanyl). Both have a "short" duration of action for anaesthesia/sedation, but the buzz lasts most of the day afterwards.

Are you secretly stalking me?

Nope. Openly. :-D

Heh. That really is weird, though. :-)
