Bob: Had one of those recently. I dreaded the oncoming experience but was surprised that it turned out to be a non-event. A friend drove me to the doctors office. The staff was very friendly and professional. They know how you feel. They did all they could to minimize embarrassment and stress. Not a Hawkeye in the bunch. The combination of Demerol and Valium relieved the muscle pain of my PD for the first time in years. For one blessed' hour I was pain free. The news was good, no polyps, which relieved a fear which I had kept in the back of my mind. Afterwards, I felt like a veteran, proud and mature. Not a bad experience. Just keep telling yourself it's the wise thing to do.
