Same reason: family history. I'm going back in tomorrow, and am drinking my broth as I type this. <br /><br />I keep trying to get friends who've never had a C, and who are at or over 50 (some much over) to go. Like my wife says, "hey, it beats ending up with a colostomy bag!" <br /><br />You're right - the prep is FAR worse than the procedure. That's the easy part. The best part though is going out to eat breakfast after about 36 hours of fasting. :-)<br /><br />Great blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939361183649544946.post-43564732935143570942009-07-10T16:06:44.915-04:002009-07-10T16:06:44.915-04:00Seriously, like Dave, since I had to go again when...<b>Seriously, like Dave, since I had to go again when I got to the office, all I could think of was the hideous scenario of some residual Old Faithful being in there when they inserted the probe. ~s~h~u~d~d~e~r~ </b><br /><br />I was thinking about what might happen if you got stuck in traffic on the way to the appointment.Hairball T.
