I have worked in television for over 20 years and I can honestly say there are some places cameras should not be allowed to go. Since I had no choice but to grin and bare it (pun intended) for a colonoscopy today; I was pleased to know the scope used 3 CCD technology and is near broadcast quality. Not that I would want them to tape me getting this procedure for the Discovery Channel. It just made sense because an image with clear detail is important for this application.

There is a happy ending to this story. After my 5th bout of diverticulitis I was originally told they would have to remove a large section of my colon.  Turns out I am only going to have minor surgery with a short hospital stay and recovery. Even though this is still a very serious operation I know I will be more then fine. PRAISE GOD!

So since I was not able to sell front row seats here is an inside look deep inside me.

For some reason when I have a hospital visit I end up with a funny story. Someday ask me about the 50 yearold Philapino assistant surgeon who had the gift of rapping. Anyway, today when they were bringing me back to the nurses station I was out cold. They bumped my gurney and I woke up thinking it was an earthquake. Seriiously I started to freak, I was going to pull the tubes out of my arms and was looking for a door jam to stand under. That is typical Southern California earthquake protocal. Of course, the attendants calmed me down and we all had a good laugh.
