My hypothesis: colonoscopy prep is intentionally miserable so that having a camera jammed up your butt doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

I continue to be happy I left FB.

Gross and misogynist Liz Phair talk? But that was her entire raison d'être.

Oof. I had this done a couple of years ago. It wasn’t so bad in the end, and I hope the examination works out well for you. I chugged quite happily on laughing gas throughout.

This is my third in 6 years since turning 40, and I don't remember the other times being as unpleasant, both in prep and in recovery. I am particularly displeased with the doctor's procedural notes, specifically the insinuating tone of "The patient tolerated the procedure well" or the backhanded compliment "The quality of the bowel preparation was adequate." Cheeky bastard.

I was told the same! I actually felt quite proud, a proper teacher’s pet!
