A few months ago I had a biopsy of the bowels, now they want to put a camera that way and look around. Now last time it was very painful, so this time they're giving me the option of being sedated and being put to sleep.

My mum doesn't like the idea, and thinks I should brave it out. What do you think? It means going two hours earlier as well.

Do it, I was such a wuss I asked for the "magic gel" for them to put the canuler(sp) in and now I ask for it all the time when I get Blood taken. Mind you I was on alot of Morphine so I probs said a load of rubbbish.

I thought you meant 'put to sleep' like the put an animal to sleep! :confused:

I understand that it's painful, but they are risks when you go under anesthetic, which you can avoid by not going under. If it was my choice, I think I'd just put up with the pain.

Maybe John would be a good person to talk to about this, seeing as he's a nurse?

I hope it all goes as well as it can. :)

Have the pain relief Jono the risk is minimal and there's no reason to suffer unnecessarily. There's a fashion in medicine at the moment to give the least pain releif possible - I don't like this fashion...a few Consultants should be made to undergo procedures without much anaesthesia, I'll bet there'd soon be a change in their thinking!

Get put to sleep. Its like women who refuse pain relief when giving birth, its unneccessary to go through that pain.

Feeling a bit drowsy afterwards and a few unlikely risks is worth it surely? I dont know, but i dont fancy no camera going anywhere near me when i was awake :/

Good luck though, hope everything goes ok.

DC they want to use a little camara to see if the operation that he had worked and its not infected!:P

Kind of. I had a biopsy to check for cancer cells, now they want to find out what has been causing me discomfort for the last five years. They were keen to do a full check of the bowels instead of a short examination. Then on Thursday, I'm having some heart tests, and then I'm going about my blurry vision the week after. It's gonna be a fun easter! Anyway, just wanted your opinions as opposed to sympathy.

Hmmmm, it's a bit of a tricky decision, I personally have a bit of an irrational phobia of being put to sleep and then having people do things to me that I don't know about while I'm unconscious so I'd probably just choose to put up with it. I would feel a lot better actually knowing what it was that was being done to me... no smart-arse comments or "G'mornin"s please.

So save the last dance

When you say 'put to sleep', do you mean a full anaesthetic or some kind of sedative that won't put you fully out? There's a tiny tiny risk with an anaesthetic. You're probably more likely to die on the way to the hospital that from the anaesthetic.

It's up to you really if you want to be put to sleep or not. I had a general anaesthetic when I had my tonsils out and I felt ok afterwards, just tired. The morphine made me hallucinate, which would have terrified me normally, but it also made me feel really relaxed about it.

As a general rule though, if a doctor says "this might be quite uncomfortable", it will hurt like hell, so you're not being a wimp by doing whatever it takes to lessen the pain.

I hope your medical treatment goes well.

I'd be put to sleep!

I agree, theres nothing better than being pain free. When I was in hospital last year I had the option to be put to sleep when they wanted to do an exploratory thing with the camera and I said yeah id have it. Although they didnt need to do it in the end cos the scan showed up alrite it still was the best option.

(My Consultant might want to do it in the future if im in pain again..)

Cos I was on the kids ward and it was something stupid like 2am in the morning and I was half asleep I got the option to have the magic gel when they put my canuler in. All I can say is that Stuff is mint but left me with a huge irritant afterwards.

If it was me I think I would choose the being put to sleep option rather than having to deal with pain but I also know if it was one of my friends or my family I would be worried that they wouldn't wake up again as I have a paranoia about that so then I'd tell them not to!

Don't think that helped! lol

Good luck tho Jono, hope it all goes well :D

      Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down

      As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.

      How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out

      At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.

      Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot

      The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?

      What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.

      Adele Roberts' new book

      Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
