Ten Things You May Hear (or Think) at Your Colonoscopy Drewby

It's a crappy time.
Once you turn 50 years old, it is suggested that you go to your doctor and kindly ask "Would you mind having one of your Gastroenterologist schedule a time for me so we can stick a camera up my butt?" If you have needed to have this procedure before turning 50, you know that it's one of the high water marks of adulthood. It IS looking for serious stuff and it IS important--incredibly so, but...that said...what we fear, we must confront--so why not confront this test with a silly pamphlet you can share with those who are about to go on this particular personal movie shoot?
"Drewby" is a father of two high school students (who may puzzle at why their father is publishing this little thing, given the topic--hence the pseudonym) lives in NY with his wife (who's procedure was the impetus for this book, which was given (20 years ago) on the night before her "closeup" while she chugged the sludge that would make her colon smile.)
We also have two dogs and a cat.
(The cat wasn't his idea, but that's another short book.)
Q& A
Q: Will these 10 pages change your life?
A: Not likely.
Q: Is this a medical resource with pertinent facts and figures?
A: Nope. Not even close.
Q: As I prepare for this procedure, is this my "field guide?"
A: C'mon, really?
Q: Hey, isn't this book description longer than the book?
A: It's totally longer, I mean, like, by hundreds of words.
This is what it is: This is just a collection of some silly things to make you or your loved ones crack a smile (or two, I hope) during a time when they think there's nothing more to "lose" or "give"...literally.
