So they still don't put us to sleep for a colonoscopy in Canada, Cricket? I was hoping they would following the American procedure by now . . . but it sounds like it is not so bad if you are premedicated.

I had one when they dx Ulcerative Colitis in the mid-80's. I was pretty raw at the time , and they had given me no medication what-so-ever . It was painful.

Gotta go for my 1/2 century check-up next year.
