Preparing for a Colonoscopy

It's not really fun.  

My last  food was at 6:30 the day before the prep.  So hunger is an issue.  No food.  Only clear liquids.  Then at noon, I swallowed two women's laxatives.  These set off a bomb in my colon.

Finally,  the trips to the bathroom subsided somewhat.

Then came the half gallon of salty "lemon-lime flavored" solution that I had to chug in 8 oz doses. 

It's really not fun.

I'm not looking forward to the anal numbing shot.  But perhaps the sedatives will be nice.
