Been there a few times with the camera.

 

I currently hold the record amongst my friends for the most inches.  
 

The guy on the end of the camera seemed a bit perplexed when I asked quite keenly how far did you get up there.

 

May as well make light of a not so pleasant experience.

To the caecum and beyond !

It was all tongue in cheek Bob, posted off the day it came, I agree with all you say.

I get it. 

Didn't mean to over react. 

 

I'll try and behave.

As a 65 and over I can add to the list. After my recent knee replacement under spinal anaesthetic with iv sedation I went into retention of urine, as the saddle area is the last to get sensation/control back. Bladder was distended up to my umbilicus. Fortunately I managed to solve it managed to solve the problem by prolonged pressing on my bladder with a bottle awaiting the flood.

 

What delights await us as the years goes by eh?

Just got back from my rehab walk and opened the post. I have an appointment for ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm 😂🙈

Get that checked mate.

 

Thats what hit my mother.  57 years old.

 

Pop.  5 hours later pronounced dead.  That was Nov 2002.

 

The upside of the tragedy was her brothers and sisters were all checked and 4 of them had similar issues.

My maternal grandmother died from it when she was younger than I am now so I am grateful to have had the scan whenI was in my sixties.

My late mother in law had an endoscopic repair of hers. I shall go to my appointment.

Hope it's a long time coming Doug.

 

Turns out it won't be a long time coming at all Ted, quite the opposite as they seem quite keen!

Rich I'm not sure of the etiquette on this one so forgive me if it's not the done thing, but what is the target depth?

[Rich Rule]

Haha, not entirely sure.

 

When I told a few of the lads I had to have the procedure, my mates little brother, piped up that he had taken 71 inches.

 

So when my procedure was completed I asked the bloke on the other end of the tube/camera combo how far he had got.

 

He said 73 inches.  I left there with a rather smug smile on my face.
