the nurse had trouble getting the IV with the sedative set up. Another nurse came in to help. Backed the needle out some and a whole bunch of sedative squirted all over. I reckon I didn’t get the full amount because I was totally lucid the whole time.
I think this is what happened to me. I don’t think they hit a vein on the IV.

Crazy how some nurses or so good and some so bad at the iv thing. My colonoscopy lady tried both arms twice and you can see the vein they always go in. New lady did it so quick never even knew she did it.

This used to urine me off so bad when my oldest son was in the hospital too often. One stupid nurse would struggle to find a vein while he was crying and then another would come in and get first try. I understand they need practice but WTF!
This is a great post and it’s good to see the discussion of something that guys don’t like to talk about. My father had prostrate cancer and I know a lot of men from my hometown, small town in Wisconsin, that died of prostrate cancer. PSA may not be reliable but ignoring it won’t do much good. I had my first colonoscopy at 42, found a large polyp and removed it. Was required to have one every 2 years until they felt I could go to 5 years. My last one was in 2018 and it was doe without anesthesia, breeze. Because I was clean every time, I am on a 10 year cycle now. Cologuard is a nice thing but I believe it does not detect polyps, that’s a visual check. Sometimes I think of the convenience but then it’s not preventative.
