Hey guys anyone had to have this done? any tips comments or advice?
A brief history....I went to the hospital last month severe pain in the lower left side of stomach? I know appendix is on the right so I was concerned and after a few blood tests and a CT scan I found out I had Diverticulitis, so as not to bore you with details basically an abscess or pocket formed in my colon and got infected like a bike tire that you over inflate.... so a few hours later and a heavy dose of antibiotics I am released and sent home to heal up.
A few weeks later go back to Doctor he checks a few things and schedules a Colonoscopy! what the hell is that? well it is a procedure that they stick a camera up your bung hole and go for a drive I'm like WTF!.. so any way they schedule the appointment for tomorrow and here we are the day before the procedure and I am supposed to drink some crap called Golytley. go lightly are friggin kidding me? it is supposed to purge the colon of all contents.....great here we go!
This crap is in a 1 gallon jug that you are supposed to a drink 8oz glass every 15 minutes until it is all gone! should take about 2 hours to drink and I guess I will drop trout for about the next 4 hours....we will see? I just drank my second glass and I mixed it with some crystal light so not too bad so far. i will keep you posted, nothing else to do today!
