semi-decade-ly cleanout
Mar. 20th, 2025 09:27 pmI had a colonoscopy on Monday. They found a polyp and removed it. We will find out if there was anything bad about it in a week or so. Probably there won't be.
I carefully chose an afternoon appointment because the new plan is that you do half of the prep the evening before and finish the prep six hours before your appointment. Which means, if your appointment is at 9 AM, you're up at three in the morning doing it. No thanks! They called me a few days in advance to ask me if I would accept an earlier appointment. I said no way!
So this means that during the "clear liquid diet" day, you're actually just like being yourself until evening. So I went on a 12-mile bike ride among other errands and chores. 7-up and apple juice for calories; salted vegetable broth for electrolytes. I had no energy problems.
