[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all of the good ideas on here. I’m going to see if I can find an “escort” via care.com- that and the med transport are great ideas, and this also comes up every several years when I have a colonoscopy so will be great to have ideas of what to do.

I live in MoCo and this procedure is at Johns Hopkins - so as a poster supposed, it will require someone to stick with me for almost 6 hours between driving to/from, needing to be there 1.5 hrs before the procedure, the procedure itself and the time I need to wake up. There are just very few people I’d ask to do this for me.

I know for routine colonoscopies at a local endoscopy center, they are strict about my needing not just a ride home but also someone to come up and get me - I have to give the person’s name and number when I sign in, and they won’t release me from the post-procedure area until that person has arrived. I have to assume a hospital will have the same procedures and they told me so when I scheduled the procedure.

Thanks again, everyone.
