When planning a family vacation, house party, work project, etc…I like to be prepared. Today’s prep is a little different than what I’m accustomed to however.
Since I like to keep it honest here and talk to us guys, especially us husbands/fathers of a certain age, today I’m discussing colonoscopy prep. I won’t get into all the shitty details (pun intended) but I’ll keep you informed come Thursday once this is all over. However, today is prep day…nothing but liquids today. Actual prep (the fun drinks) start at 4pm. I unfortunately am not scheduled until after 3pm tomorrow which is a long time for me to not eat anything. The procedure itself is of no concern to me since I’ll be taking a Propofol nap and not remember a thing. Everyone I’ve spoken to said it’s the prep that is the worst part of this so I’ll give you an honest assessment of my experience once over to either calm your fears or scare the shit out of you (pun intended again).
So for now, my magnesium citrate is chilling in the fridge, dulcolax tabs on standby, and my pitcher of Gatorade/Miralax is mixed well. My electronics will be charged and ready while I’m doing a lot of s(h)itting later to pass the time. Wish me luck friends!
