Big Dot

Well, that makes a change. For most of us December means Christmas and holidays.

Becs

Make your life easier by:
1. Gradually decreasing your intake of food to nothing until the fated day.
2. Drink the slime ice cold and as quickly as you can.

Good luck.

Amy in StL

My mom had to get one every year for about 20 years because she had colon cancer. (Now they let her go a few years inbetween) She said this last one was a breeze compared to times past. She used to bring a huge bag home from the pharmacy of stuff she had to imbibe. I know Citrus of Magnesia was one and there was an enema in there. She much preferred the add tasteless stuff to Gatorade version.

Hattie

The worst part is drinking the stuff. The last time I had a colonoscopy I had done such a good job of cleaning myself out that it took forever to find any veins for an IV because they had all collapsed!
Fun!
But way better than colon cancer, which runs in both Terry's family and mine.

Nothing like a day of explosive fire hose diarrhea to put you in the Holiday Spirit.

Big Dot - You know, from what I remember of my last colonoscopy there is a bright green bile bile at the far end of my colon, and the colon itself is akmost red. Red and green, Christmas colors.
Becs - I am starting as of today. I ate cantelope, cottage cheese, a third of my lunch, and no dinner. I bet I could live on all liquids. I could match the "Excellent" picture without the fluid even. Inner beauty.
Amy in StL - That's awful to think it was once worse!
Hattie - I have no cancer at all in my family, maternal or paternal. Gary did have an aunt with colon cancer, though.
Benchmark - But then I'll be all clean and fresh and empty for the holiday eating.

Poo-cano!

Wendy - I'm going for a dormant poocano then ;-)
