Thank goodness, Scotch is a "clear liquid."

A "clear liquid" is something you can see through.

Coffee (no cream), Gatorade, tea, soft drinks, all qualify.

It's been a long day, and it's going to be a longer night. I'll be glad to have it all "behind" me....

You could just poop in the box, y’know.

I'd forgotten how unpleasant a bowel prep is.

Gummy bears qualify as clear liquid as well, since they're dissolved when you swallow them, right?

Man's gotta have his calories!

No red gummys

Best wishes for a good test and that everything comes out okay.

Hey, someone had to say it.

[George K]

Yeh, that was fun...

They always say, "The prep is the worst part."

I'd forgotten how unpleasant it is.

This prep was different:

• Clear liquids the day before
• Start the liquid prep between 4-6 PM the day before
• Finish the prep 6 HOURS before your arrival. Mine was 7:30 AM, so, up at 1 AM and drink this shit, and crap away for two hours. Get back to sleep at 3:30, when you have to leave at 6:30? Nope, not gonna happen.

But, everything went well. Propofol is amazing (my 2nd time with it). Diverticulosis throughout my colon, and 6 polyps that look benign, but sent off to pathology.

I'm rehydrating with moar Scotch tonight. So far, it's going pretty damn well.

They said I had some diverticulosis too, which is odd because I have the digestive system that is the envy of a goat.
