As you read this, my Peglyte is chilling in the fridge, waiting for me to start the cleansing preparations for tomorrow’s colonoscopy.
The process is horrible. The liquid I need to drink tastes terrible and I need to take anti-nausea medication just to get most of it down.
I will be thoroughly grumpy because I can’t eat all day so will go to dance class hungry. I’ll start drinking the liquid immediately after class. The big trick will be whether I can hand out treats to the kiddies.
I will not regret doing this no matter how unpleasant. Colon cancer is a horrible disease. Women are almost as likely to get it as men, though you would never know that by looking at internet images; almost all of them show men. And the risk increases with age, so do start doing the FIT test if you haven’t already, and follow up on your results..
Better colon health for everyone!
