Gosh, honey, it's always something, isn't it! I hope the docs can figure out where your pain is coming from and fix it pronto.

I've had a colonoscopy and it isn't all that bad. I figure the doc and nurses have done this a zillion times and it's no big deal to them. The doc who did mine was pregnant at the time. The one thing that was weird is that there's a tv screen there (full color) and you can get a much closer look at your insides than you ever wanted to. But the weirdest part wasn't after the tube/wand was inside, it was before they started, seeing the wand on the screen as it approached the <ahem> opening. Yikes! THAT'S a picture you don't soon erase from your mind!

The gown thing is strange, but it reminds me of something else you said about him a while ago-- I can't remember what-- and I'm going to give the same response I did at that time: I think he's terrified that something might really be wrong with you and the gown issue is an unconscious deflection of his emotions. He focuses on the gownage because he can't let himself even think about the possibility of (God forbid) something really being wrong with you.
