What is it? you may ask. Well, I'll tell you: on December 24th, I'm having a colonoscopy!!
Bless my doctor and her assitant's hearts, they managed for find an opening for me, 2 days before my cataract surgery on the 26th. My gastroenterologist doesn't think there will be a problem with having a colonoscopy so close to cataract surgery on the 26th, but I've got a call in to my opthamologist just to make sure.
I'm dreading the test--not the test itself but the swamp water I'll have to drink. But I'll sure be relieved to get this over with.
And, again, God bless my doctor and her assistant for going to so much trouble for me.

Congratulations! (I think)
Hoping you will get to drink miralax prep instead of lots of swamp water!
The miralax prep didn’t bother me (in July).
Good luck with your C!

Hannah, I just had one 11 days ago, prep was Miralax and 64 oz. Of Gatorade. I chose lemon lime and it was not bad at all. And of course, can't forget the dulcalax .

@Huge Hannah I think you'll do fine! It help to have some hard candy (NOTHING with red coloring and no chocolate) to suck on after drinking the colon prep. Ask me how I know!! ha ha I was told this before my first colonoscopy (and it was also in the paperwork I got ahead of time) and did it for both of them. It really does help.
Wishing you well with everything!!

I had my first colonoscopy in October and the drinks were the worst part. Hoping things go well with your test and your cataract surgery.
