They gave me a packet with a few pics, but looking at that is like looking at the electric wiring diagrams for the space shuttle. I don't really know what I am looking at. The did put a pic of the polyp, but there is no context such as how to determine how big it is, etc.

I'm also nervous about what I might say!

Yea, I was really anxious and knew I would be. That's why I would only schedule when I could be first exam of the day. I was sitting on the side of the bed and felt the 'fight or flight' syndrome was fixing to kick in, so I ask to be taken off the monitors and allowed to rest room visit. When I came back from the rest room, I saw the doctor (I am sure he was told I was very anxious) and said, "let the party begin". They hooked me back up, put the meds in the IV and the anxiety went away. For me, that was the worst time, but then again, I am the same on a plane. When on a plane, I just want to get in the air. But this anxiety (almost panic) may just be me, which is why I really didn't mention it earlier.
About what I might say is a funny one. My wife told me I stated that corny joke about gerbil tracks in the colon, plus another about 'going where no man has gone before', and something about not kissing a girl who has been 'down there'. I don't remember shit, and she isn't the type to make that sort of stuff up.
