Maybe the ones you pay for are more gentle than the hospital kind. There was NOTHING enjoyable about that experience. It was like 10 minutes of the most explosive diarrhea ever and not being able to relieve yourself.
That’s quite a visual.
LOL! I’m all about sharing experiences.
yipes! I can’t even imagine having to hold in the contents of an enema for a minute no less 10?
I hope you are feeling better!
I’m surprised they did an enema. They suspected the same things for me (ovarian cyst or appendicitis) when I went to the hospital. I did have to have a catheter though, for the ultrasound...that was even worse than I thought it would be.
I’m really glad you’re ok, but sorry about the cyst. I hope they can fix it.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Although, considering my anatomy, they weren’t looking for ovarian cysts. But left untreated, endometriosis is a serious condition. The positive side is that it is curable. My sister had two children after having an ovarian cyst removed.
OCB, they actually still had the tube in there. He mentioned something about putting a “block” or some such device to keep it in place and to keep the contents from, er, spewing.
Liane, I am soooo thankful I didn’t need a catheter. I hear that’s a pretty painful process too. The enema was for the contrast fluid, to help enhance the images they received.
Bobolink, the treatment for endometriosis didn’t sound all that great… it involved hormone manipulation. I’d get to experience the joys of menopause before I turn 40.
holy crap!! (hmm thats a pun huh)
I am glad you ok ... and very happy about your underwear.
Yes I’m rather happy myself that there was no holy crap in my underwear.
I’m glad you are okay. Your story almost mirrors my experience with the exception of the enema (Yikes!). When I was in radiology my cyst burst leaving me with a blood pressure of 30/60. I’ll tell you at that second I was very popular with the hospital staff 
All’s well though. Good luck with the follow-up!
The possibility of the cyst bursting is frightening! I hope the stupid insurance company will hurry up and approve the procedure to get this thing removed!
All throught reading that, I was thinking that would be an excellent cold opening for a House episode. Still, that does promote a certain sense of relief since he does have near perfect survival rate. And CAT scans do not look fun, they look boring and long. Although people do always choose that moment to have a seizure or something else completely out of character.
Glad you OK thought, medical emergencies suck and can be very expensive, doesn’t sound like yours is going to be too much of either in the end.
And also, do you ever not wear clean underwear??
Do I ever not wear clean underwear? Heehee! Well, admittedly during winter I tend to shower every other day, so if you catch me on the off-day I might not be as fresh as I could be. 
Jesus - glad you’re okay. There are people out there who voluntarily do enemas because they enjoy them. I can’t quite understand that.
