Comment on *A clean colon is like driving on a country road on a sunny day...*
weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoSo my partner literally had a colonoscopy this week.
I don’t know how to do spoiler tags and they often don’t work on my app anyway so WARNING: GROSS.
You drink a special laxative and chew these special pills to empty everything out and, critically, you know when you’re clean when your poop comes out identical to pee. Translucent yellow liquid. The instructions have a color chart and everything.

My elderly neighbor doesn’t exactly follow rules. She had a colonoscopy earlier this year. They sent her home because she “wasn’t clean.” She had to repeat the process later, and I can’t imagine she was a Sunny Country Road, but they at least completed the exam that time. I am still mortified for her, my first colonoscopy was last year, I spent a full day on the toilet prepping. Nearly slept in the bathtub.
