A word of advice: The words “bowel prep” are not your friends.
As part of pre-op, today (Wednesday) included a light breakfast, a clear liquid diet and three enemas. Other than the day-long ban on caffeine, the enemas were clearly my favorite part.
I think I asked everyone I spoke with today if they’ve ever had an enema. I called my friend, who used to be a nurse, twice for advice on self-administering the thing.
But I still never felt I quite got the hang of it, so I’m hoping the results are good enough for surgery work.
Other than that, today was just a mad rush to get things done. Nothing like a long to-do list to keep the mind occupied.
Thinking of you, Darling!!

ReplyDeleteI only had to drink a salty soda drink and sit on the toilet for six hours. I prefer that to the enema.
