Sorry for the pun, but desktop is talking utter cr*p!!

There is no liquid in a colonoscopy - Ive had one - and she may have just slipped up this time.

gordie1 - you can have a mild sedative and honestly you wont remember a thing.

Plan a reward or treat for afterwards and focus on that. Have no experiene of having had one, but know folk who have and they wondered afterwards what they were worried about. It's natural to worry as it's about the unknown, however, as someonce once said- "there is nothing to fear but fear itself!" Good luck - and in the meantime, try lavender oil on your pillow and try to slow down you breathing and concentrate on this and nothing else when trying to sleep x
