Yeah, although they weren't at all surprised that I wanted to watch. They were doing surgery on me at the same time, so they sort of brought me in and out. This would have been 1988 or thereabouts, and they hadn't decided to take a whole section of the colon at that point.
The funniest part to me was when I went in to check in for the surgery, after a 72 hour fast and three enemas, and the nurse said "your blood pressure is a little high" ..... and I said, "YA THINK???"
