Hi Troops ...me again!
Today we have received in the post for my OH - 2 envelopes! One for a routine (5 yearly) colonoscopy and one from the screening people to send off poo samples (again routine coz he over 60!)
I have had several conversations with him today re these appts suffice to say HE DONT WANNA GO FOR COLONOSCOPY !! OR HAS ANY INTENTION of collecting the samples to put in the post !!
While I know he should go for these routine check ups, the stress it is causing him already is making me think is it worth hassle!!?? I know he will not deal with being in hospital for a morning, or wearing the gown not too mention how he will react once they actually begin the procedure?? also i think from memory he would be given a mild sedative would this make his confusion worse??
I would appreciate your thoughts and advice on this please
