bowel preparation
"Started at 6:00pm.  Had some lemon wedges w/ sugar on them ready in a bowl.  Not as bad as I had feared (actually, not that bad at all).  I used a couple of wedges, but that was more that they tasted so good with the sugar.  Drinking that much water was a challenge - very full.  The prep took care of that during the next couple of hours.  At 10:00pm my doctor had specified 10 oz of magnesium citrate (something like that, it's OTC and cost like a buck - says it's used for gentle relief of constipation).  That caused some minor activity about 5 hours later.  At 5:00am I did the second part of the prep.  Same deal.  It caused activity over the next couple of hours and I slept the rest of the morning.  Fixing to head over now (12:00pm)."
