Stop obsessing. You and your doc. have already decided this will happen, and they've done it many times before. So all you have to do is convince yourself: IF the great big turds come out, a wee finger, gloved in smooth latex and lubed with the same KY she uses for Greek can most certainly go in with no trouble.
In fact if you give it a moment's calm reflection, you could imagine feeling the same comfortable release you get from dropping one of those doozies. Speaking of which, for your own peace of mind take care of that stuff that morning, and follow with a thorough shower and a real clean between your cheeks. When you're on your side with your pants down, the last thing you want to be distracted by is whether your bum smells and you're holding back an avalanche.
What you want to think is, "If so many folks people think this kinda byplay is fun, how bad can it be?"

Excellent post.
Sensible and eloquent as always. And with a sense of humour, to boot.
LOL excellent. Yes, it does feel like you gotta take a crap sometimes. As I approached 40, I would get this advice - "Try to relax" - and my response was "you try to relax when a dude is jamming a finger up your butt".
It takes about 5-6 seconds so you can hang in on that. I remember first time eyeing up the Doc's fingers to check out their girth lol....But keep in mind the Doc does this every day, and it is not all roses and sunshine for them either.
Every year on my physical I make the same bad joke to my Doc - after he does it, I say "At least you could have bought me a drink first" (or some years its "you could have at least taken me to dinner and a movie first") and every year he laughs like he's never heard it before.
