Same thing happened to me on my first colonoscopy at 50. I woke up as they were finishing up and saw myself on the TV monitor. I wasn’t moving, just taking it all in, but eventually asked “Hey, is that me?”

Nurse jumped in quickly and said “Don’t move! Just stay still for a little longer!Dont move!”

“Oh I’m not going anywhere…..but it looks like I forgot to smile.” They laughed a little bit and wound me up.

They found no problems and said they’d see me in ten years @ 60. I bragged on that little tidbit to my sweet wife and she didn’t miss a beat, telling me “I’m not surprised, you’re a perfect [bleep] at times”. Love that girl.
