Today is "'prep" day for tomorrows colonosccopy

So I won't be leaving the house after 0900. I know what to expect - I've undergone three of these before. I'm hoping the results from this one is at least as good as the previous ones (several small polyps that were easily removed during the procedure).

Wish me luck.

Good luck tomorrow Klondike Kat. The prep is the worst part. Good that you’re taking care of yourself.

I did mine on a Monday morning last November. Prepping while watching football is not a good idea. It’s nothing but food ads.

For my most recent exam, I do not have to drink a gallon of solution. I had to mix up a solution of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate and drink that. It tasted like model airplane cement, but at least there wasn't as much of it.

Best wishes.

Hell! Don't leave the house
Stay near the hallway.
Keep that bathroom door open.
Loose fitting pants for speed.

That propofol works great.
Half the shot was instant groggy
The second half put me out right NOW.
None of this counting backwards stuff.

Woke up fully, not gradually.
Nurses laughing because full of air and farting like crazy.

Time for lunch......... Can laugh at it - now.
