Justin, I hate to burst your bubble, but when it comes to fitting prescription lenses an optometrist is infinitely superior to an ophthalmologist--aside from being easier to spell. <g>

As for colonoscopy and prep, I have no comment. - Holly (an ex-x-ray person).

So, the colonoscopy is an important preventative that amounts to a few hours of "prep" and an exam done with mild anesthesia. If I start writing about the "prep", shoot me.

I second both of those. Mine was clear, too, but also, I don't even want to think about, let alone write about, the prep.

Other than to ask, did you have to imbibe that awful tasting pineapple flavored stuff? Or did your doc have a better option?

Have I mentioned my first-ever colonoscopy in December?
No, and you didn't have to, either.

I've read ahead and know what you are going to say (I am clairvoyant on SI- -sometimes). It occurred to me that SI needs a thread on prep for colonscopy.

You start it.
