Sup colonoscopy buddy! Evacuating your digestive system is without a doubt the worst part of it, have fun.

Ah...colonoscopies...there's a history of cancer on both sides of the family...so, yeah...in 20 years, I get to have the pleasure of having one every year or so. Yeah...not looking forward to that.

Assuming it doesn't happen sooner, of course. A few years back I managed to get a infection in my dietary tract twice within a six month period. An all together unpleasant experience in-and-of itself (not being able to stomach anything for two weeks sucks), my doctor said if it happened again within a relatively short period, they'd have to scope me to see if there was something wrong.

Thankfully...I didn't have to go do that.

So I've heard. I'm both excited and terrified of it at the same time. It's so new and yet so... well, not something you'd do on a Thursday evening. Plus come the day of the procedure there's the whole "there's a 1 in 10,000 risk of perforating the colon, which could lead to infection and then we'll have to do a colostomy." So I have two very special requests for the doctor come next Friday: For him to please, please be gentle (it's my first time :p) and to make sure that camera is more slippery than a buttered eel.

If indeed I do have sleep paralysis (or isolated sleep paralysis) then I don't get the hallucinations. I'm just concentrated on waking up. And I'd like to point out that while I am aware of where I am more or less, I don't really see the room all that clearly.
I think it still fits; I don't always hear/see things, sometimes I just lay there and stare. And the vision thing is probably just one of those mild differences between instances of the same thing.
