Hmm. I avoided dental work pre-pandemic because they wouldn't confirm or deny they'd use gas. Which seemed like confirmation, to me. Actually I still don't like it! No problem with needles. I'm paying in later life for opening beer bottles and cracking walnuts with my teeth in my youth... Good, is it?
I had a colonoscopy yesterday (sorry if that's TMI) and had gas and air - great stuff! All clear anyways (literally ) My wife is teetotal so we shared G&A when she was in labour and to this day it's the only time we've been 'wonky' together. Anyway, what I joined in to say was best wishes to you Ducbird - keep the faith.
It's my one phobia, from childhood. I used to have fillings without anaesthetic rather than that gas/rubber mask experience.
Love this Good news on the colonoscopy I have one of those too and endoscopy mine were all clear apart from a gastris flare up It was part of the investigation into my anaemia and myeloma diagnosis
So, you remain conscious? Kind of like a lumbar puncture is it? yes. You feel like spaced out Aware of what’s going on and the gas and air stops the painful bit
I forgotten how painful that is I’m a bit of a crier after gas and air I’m now having a cup of tea and biscuit Had a lovely hug off my nurse specialist First one in 18 months
I had a front row seat (bed) to a tour of my giblets live on TV Good humour is good medicine, ducbird, keep smiling kid. x
I suffered at the hands of ye olde gas savagery as a child but the gas and air they give you er ........... sorry the pregnant lady at the hospital completely different stuff bags of fun does not impress maternity staff though
Viv, if only those rubbish bins could speak, as they'd be shouting words of encouragement for you all day long.
