Good Luck with everything.

I had to use the pills (i think it was 30 or something like that in less than an hour and then after i finished those- they gave me two dulcolax to get rid of anything left in my system) It's not too bad- just try and stay really hydrated. You're going to be just fine sweetie. I can honestly say i've been there several times...so i understand It'll be over with soon before you know it! Tell Jerry to take good care of you for all of us

But promise to keep clear of your path to the bathroom.

Hey and atleast you redid the bathroom already so you have a nice place to sit and read in!!!

Here's to everything going well. You're in my thoughts and prayers Susie!

Good luck with the test! I have to give out those laxatives to patients before some tests and man, I feel so bad for them.

There is one laxative, and I hope it's not the one you have to take, called "Golytely". There is nothing "light" about it!!!! The person has to drink 3 litres of the stuff and it tastes super salty I've had so many patients not be able to drink it and keep it down that I usually encourage them to let me put in a nasogastric tube so I can administer it to them that way which is more comfortable for all of us. Anyway, I sure hope that isn't the stuff you have to take!

I have first hand experience with the Golytely, its the saltiness that makes it hard to keep down....Peglyte is a similar substance, except not as horrid tasting. Might not be the nicest, but they are the best colon cleansers without a chance of dehydration....
Good luck at the end of this week, tis only a short while of discomfort really

That's what I thought! I hope your colonoscopy isn't too horrible & it goes quickly.

Thanks guys.........I think I should stuff myself on Wednesday because I won't be able to eat anything from Wednesday bedtime to Friday after the procedures........

Did you stock up on scented candles and um... air freshner too?????
