dread, Dread, DREAD

Go to the drug store and get him some magnesium citrate. It usually starts acting within 2 hours but it's milder way to cleanse the system than most. There are usually a couple of flavors. I tolerate cherry the best. Just make sure he has a two day period where he doesn't have to absolutely be somewhere.

He said NO. Looks like I'm all alone in this, except that he is going to drive me and stay with me after.

I really think I will be fine after and just sleep for a while. He thinks he should stay with me just in case I decide to get on the internet and buy a bunch of stuff and don't remember it.

You won't believe it now, but you will probably be hungry after it. Make sure you have plans to get something to eat. Remember, you will have been totally empty for a few days. Nothing heavy though, stay away from the fast food. Good luck.

I'm hungry already just thinking about it. I bought chicken noodle soup to have afterwards. Don't want to have anything heavy, is right.

It defies logic that there are pounds and pounds of fecal matter stuck in your colon. I think that's an idea that someone selling a colon cleanse wants you to buy. There are others who agree with me. http://www.lisabarger.com/colon_cleansing_scams.htm

Nothing wrong with getting a good "flow" going every once in a while, though!

Mine's in January. Let me know how it goes. I think the part that I dread the most is only having fluids the day before! My doc makes everyone get one when they turn 50. Somehow she caught up with me since I keep putting it off.

Mammograms are no big deal. I too have family history and have gotten them yearly since my mom died of breast cancer when I was 36. Every time I go and get one, though, I just can't imagine having that job!

I just thought of something, before you leave weigh yourself! I know that if I lost a quick few pounds it would make the day brighter.

I'm on the clear liquids now. I don't start drinking the yummy stuff until 6 p.m. I have my tv table set up in the bathroom. I expect y'all to entertain me. Until 6 p.m. I'm just going to stay busy. I've heard that you don't get that hungry because you are so focused and then once all the fun starts, there's no time to think about eating.
