bowel preparation
"Had a sigmoidoscopy the other week, first time, and got given Moviprep by the hospital to take in advance. Only had to take 1L and I could get up at 6am to take for a 13:30 appointment. Found it incredibly hard to drink, THAT TASTE!! Ugh! As if those horrible backless hospital shorts and the procedure done wasn't bad enough.
You can imagine my horror when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (boo, but at least the last time was now definitely worth it) and the Doc said he wanted to send me for a Colonoscopy. Staring 2L in the face this afternoon, and already I have the shakes! First pint glass in, and it's definitely better to just get two straws. Started working within ten minutes."
