Colonoscopy a Hospital and Date Rape

I was recently admitted into Hervey Bay Hospital for an Colonoscopy and wish to thank all involved for a successful outcome ! The 2 Day preparation was a bit of a challenge tho and the procedure started 2 days before and Day One was ok because I had to eat the right foods and had up until midnight ! Day 2 NO food and only clear liquids and NO alcohol !! As the day wore on (there seemed to be 48 hours rolled into ONE Day!!) and lots of drinks after (including water,Gatorade which shouldn,t have been drunk because of the green colour,and I dont know why that is and Apple juice.Coke,Tea with milk all No No,s!) I lasted until 5pm and THEN I had to take 3 drinks within 20 minutes! They tasted FOUL ! and were only the size of a whiskey measuring glass and within 40 minutes the toilet runs began (the information booklet provided is very,very clear STAY WITHIN EASY REACH OF A TOILET!! and they were well advised !) I had to wash my hair separately the night before (which I did) and get up on Day THREE at 2 am and do the same bad tasting drink routine once more (at this stage my inter workings were reduced to liquid!! and I was thoroughly de-toxed !!) 6 am and I showered with the “special” sponge  provided by the hospital ending up squeaky clean on the outside as well as the inside!! I was admitted at 7 am accompanied by my right arm and full on strength Annie (Everybody was fantastically communicative and friendly) The anesthetist was from near my English town and we chatted in a good humoured fashion.He started to inject my arm and NEXT? I was waking up after around a 30 minute procedure,never felt a thing and didn,t know I was being “knocked out” and after a brief come round time,a sandwich,biscuits and a lovely cup of tea I was sent home,Just Like That !! All staff from Hospital entry to Hospital Exit were extremely nice and VERY professional.SO? to all of you a VERY BIG Thank You for attitude and professionalism

This is NOT a picture of me! BUT shows how easy it is performed !!!

As for my next point DATE RAPE….In the past I have had misgivings of the concept of Date Rape and never thought it possible that females would NOT know what they had been through after being violated .My whole attitude has changed drastically since my Colonoscopy experience. At NO time did I know I was being operated on,I never knew the anesthetic was being administered and I felt absolutely NOTHING after the procedure (and still don’t) and now I accept that people are very vulnerable to introduced drugs via whatever means (drinks etc) SO Ladies in particular NEVER leave a drink unattended and  in these sad times be very vigilant.Date rape occurs when a perpetrator uses physical or psychological intimidation to force a victim to have sex against their will, or when the perpetrator has sex with a victim who is incapable of giving consent because they have been incapacitated by drugs or alcohol.In most rapes, the perpetrator and the victim know each other

In Conclusion..Thanks to all involved in my procedure especially my wife Annie,who I wouldn,t have managed without
