I think you'll all be grateful that I did not live blog my particular experience today, but Dave Barry sums it up very well.
Get checked. Be an adult here. Quit being squeamish. It's better to know that everything's fine, or to know that there's an issue so it can be dealt with, than it is not to know.
(Dave's article on his colonoscopy made me laugh dozens of times this week and that really helped me quit worrying.)
