This morning I had my five year colonoscopy check-up. Those of you who have had one or more know that the prep is somewhere between unpleasant and dreadful. My preps last for full two days for certain TMI reasons, but also because 20 years ago, I had the traumatic experience of waking up after the procedure to the following verdict from my GI doctor at the time:
The thing I really dread, and I’m about due again. I hadn’t thought of the gum, but how long does that last? Because you have to drink a gallon of that awful liquid!!!
Good for you doing this on a consistent basis. It’s so important. Also praise for the doctors who choose this specialty. Gulp.
You have my sympathy, but I'll stop short of sharing colonoscopy stories.
