Hiya, can i have a positive kick up the b.....

[bubblewrap]

I think i would be OK if the camera was going down the throat instead of up the A.........

I've had both (not on the same day) more than once + stuff poked in other parts of me(pretty nurse helped)

[Minty]

Psst, Minty, I don't belive she's actually from these parts, despite what her profile says

HE HE, Minty really is a silly worrying little bugger.

Think i have got to 37 and realised i am not immortal,

time to start looking after yourself?
Come round here and I'll cook you a nice beany hotpot

[bobleponge]

Good luck with your thingyascopy Minty, sure all will be fine and you will have worried for nothing.
I'm clearly not for your neck of the woods either, I have no idea what a whittle arse is.

[Rhona]

My grandmother was from Nottingham and frequently told people to 'Stop whittling!' so not unknown to me. I think a bit of a whittle is only human though, and you'll feel much better when these things are out of the way. Buy yourself a little treat for having a rotten week but being brave about it - a few new packets of seeds or something.

And let us know how you get on! Good luck.

Hiya friends, my mum calls me a "whittle arse".
I have a really crap week ahead in that i have to go for an ECG and blood tests on Tues(because of the high blood pressure)and then on Friday a Sigmoidoscopy due to other things !!.
I am really scared because i worry too much.
I know other people have more to worry about than me me.
Think i have got to 37 and realised i am not immortal,
Love ya all Minty XXXXXXX

Please don't worry about this!! I'm only 29 and have been sent home from work with high blood pressure a few times (194/117)

I had my ECG and bloods last week, and have also been referred for an ultrasound on my kidneys and liver to check they are ok

They've put me on a low dose of BP tablets and have said that they'll see me in 3 weeks...

Please try not to worry too much! (((HUG)))

Whittling where I come from is carving things out of a stick...so I did have to ask

[Flummery]

I had a sygmoidoscopy about 18 months ago. Scarey thought but turned out to be ok and also turned out that I didn't have what they were checking for! Don't assume the worst. It might be good news!

[SlugLobber]

Hi Minty, I just looked up 'sigmoidoscopy' on Google (as did most others I suspect lol!) and I suspect that a 'kick' up the bum wouldn't be a good idea, as it may make their job more difficult!

Anyway, stop worrying (worrying is probably the only thing wrong with you!) it'll be fine. Fingers crossed anyway!

I thought about looking it up, but it sounded bendy and uncomfortable, so I didn't!

Hope everything is ok, Minty. I had a dream once about having a colon exam, by ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER!!!!!!! God, I was glad to wake up!!

[smallblueplanet]

Hope they find out what's wrong soon Minty, that will help you wittle less!

For those not from the great county of Derbyshire:

BBC - Derby - Voices - Derbyshire Dictionary

Dunna wittle!
Don't worry about it.

[zazen999]

It's all gobbledegook to me.

[Polly Fouracre]

I had a sigmoidoscopy last Tuesday, nothing to it. Just leave your dignity at home, you won't need it!!

[bubblewrap]

They don't like it up them Mr Mainwaring!

[maytreefrannie]

All the best for your tests, Minty - you'll be glad to have them over, hope it turns out all right.

[yoanbob]

good luck minty
