Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

Had one 3 years ago at the age of 26.

The only tough part that I remember was the day before you cant eat, instead you have to take laxatives for 24 hours and have explosive diarriah.

My doctor had me take:

A 24 hr laxative

A bottle of milk of magnesia

4x stool sofeners

...I think my doctor went a little over kill...plus my doctor was a bitch.

No pain afterwords....

I think I had to use suppositories which really is un pleasant

Just wondering what your experience was with it. I may have to have one very soon. :(

So, you have a date with Dr. Roto Rooter. I've had a colonoscopy and a sigmoidoscopy.

It's not that big of a deal if you have the procedure done. The preparation for 24 - 48 hours prior is probably the worst part since you will be taking something to clean out your system. My suggestion is to make your last meal a good one but don't have something that is hard for the system to digest. A steak with all the timmings for example is not a good idea.

Not sure what it is like in your area but they probably won't let you drive once the procedure is completed. Take somebody with you that can drive.

Holy poo! That is a lot of laxatives. I already have explosive diarrhea, I don't even want to think about what is to come!

Id tell you all about my colonoscopy but I don't remember much. propofol is like nectar from the GODS.

That's nice to know :)

I wish I could eat a good meal. I've been so sick over the last 4 days I've not been able to eat much more than crackers & water.

You're welcome.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
