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.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
