Ok, well I thought they were interesting:
1. Being asked if I had been on a poultry farm or handled live birds recently. (bird flu questions)
2. Had I been out of the country in the past 10 days
3. New colonoscopy/endoscopy center at North Florida-new large waiting room and admission area, new prep waiting rooms that are rooms with bathrooms/tvs/etc.
4. Truly awful wallpaper borders and art, though the art and borders are a nice touch
5. Being told I am tiny all over. Hmmm...
6. The sedation wore off very quick, much quicker than at my usual endo/colonoscopy haunt.
7. The doctor blowing me up like a balloon and leaving me to deflate on my own. Geez, she doesn't normally do that or if she does she deflates me.
8. The doctor talking to my partner while ostensibly telling me all her thoughts
9. The doctor getting mushy with my partner.
10. The complete humorlessness of the staff in the colonoscopy room itself. Usually folks in that field tend to be quick with humor.

I'm getting weird pictures of Dr W inflating you and deflating you. Maybe it's this inflation and deflation thing that causes her to speak to me, and so nicely too?
You are right, that was the boringest set of endoscopy staff I've ever seen. Someone should send them some poop jokes or crap blogs or something.
Deflating isn't just a courtesy, it's a needed. Grrr...
Hi there Tummy Troubles,
I just found your blog and enjoy reading the adventures of another sufferer. I would love it if you shared your story (and blog) with the members of my crohn's disease forum at www.crohnsforum.com . Currently we are having a promotion where all people who register trigger a $0.10 donation to the CCFC (Crohn's foundation in Canada). I would appreciate it if you let anyone else who suffers from this disease about the condition as well. I reall hope to see you on the forum soon.
Take care,
Michael
Surgery does indeed mean mystery bump removal. And no kidding on professional deflation. I think I STILL am inflated...lol ok so that is probably not inflation keeping my pants from fitting.
