Ok, Ive lit the blue touch Paper!!!

[RATTER15]

I have my Colonoscopy tomorrow, I have just sat down to my first glass of "Kleen-Prep"

I have put this in Body & Soul as I feel this would be most appropriate as I think my body and soul will soon be exiting through my bottom.

I wasn't warned about just how foul this liquid is, and I have to drink four Ltrs of this gunk tonight!!

Well actually it says I can also take it through my nose with a tube, I tried but it just makes me sneeze and makes my eyes water.

Wish me luck guys, apparently (according to Billy Connolly) this stuff was developed by NASA, I'm preparing for take off! :-(

All the best Ratter15 - draw arrows so they dont remove the wrong bits.

Do we get treated to a video of the full story or do we have to use our imagination?
Eeek..

[RATTER15]

lets listen to some music and watch a vid, keep my mind of it.

[RATTER15]

I will ask for the vid for you tube!!

[RATTER15]

Tambo, there going to remove bits?!!!! nobody told me about that!! and how do you suggest I get a marker in there to draw arrows, are you volunteering?

Apparently Anusol wanted to use Ring of Fire for a piles commercial, but the company who held the copyright wouldn't let them, spoilsports!

[RATTER15]

Well thats the first glass consumed. time for a refill.

[douglas9401]

Probably a bit late with this but you do know that this stuff is for rectal application only! :)


Good luck tomorrow!

I've got a fibre-optic xmas tree that may help :)

Yes you stick a straw up your bum and inhale...............

[RATTER15]

No inner stirrings yet!! its making me feel a bit light headed for some reason. That may just be a lack of food, I havnt eaten for 5 hours and I cant eat untill after I have been probed, well apart from the Jelly Babies, whch im still waiting for.

[jno]

I just had Picolax too; no bad taste and not gallons of it, either. Demand it next time.

[RATTER15]

Im kinda hoping there wont be a next time :-(

Ok, Carakeel is back now, time for the Jelly Babies :-)

[B00]

for God's sake don't cough or sneeze!!

Good luck for tomorrow :-)

[RATTER15]

Strewth this stuff is evil, every mouthful makes me want to urge, Ive put some lemon barley water in it to try and flavour it, its still just as bad!!!

Hi Ratter,
I'm in between making the tea. Just to say, I've been through this, small regular amounts, hold your nose. You'll wonder how you will ever get through it all but you will. Tomorrow you will feel very weak as you must have been on your 'diet' Just a tip, when you are allowed to eat normally again, don't go mad! It's a great temptation just to have a real hearty meal, but it will give you stomach ache. Eat something filling but don't go overboard. Best wishes!

[RATTER15]

2nd glass down, 500 to go :-)

I'm just thinking, the food that ive eaten today will not be digested by the time Ive finished this terrible gloop, I ill have an empty bowel and an absolutely sparkling colon but will my stomach still contain food or will it be lurking elsewhere in the system?

[daftgrandad]

If it has not begun to stir already Ratter,just give it time.All your worries will soon be a fond memory,be it all recurring,for some time !

[rowanwitch]

if its one of the aniseed ones use blackcurrant its best as making it almost palatable then makesure you not only have wet wipes but some vaseline handy it gives the skin a bit of protection..... colonoscopy will be fine...they may give some midaolam so you probably won't remember it anyway... Thats from doing endoscopy nursing for a while not from experience

[Quassia]

That 'gloop' is powerful stuff! Are you sitting on a sheet? .. I said sheet lol! Not joking by the way, it will take you by surprise, just a precaution Ratter. Do you feel weak?
