well as you say the prep is the worst. the event itself went fine, no polyps (that is why every 5 years).

I agree with the loss of ability to think. I have been trying to warp up my small Navajo frame loom for and upcoming weaving demo at a cotton gin festival and I spent three hours today trying to figure out how to do the final step and giving up- I have been doing one of these every three to four months so it's not like this is a new process.

the most aggravating part of the day was that after spending a couple of hours prefilling out all of there forms and permissions on line, after we had gotten there and signed in, another three forms to initial, they kept us waiting for an hour and a half, when we asked why they had had us come in so early they told us it was to fill out the registration forms- three initials and a signature! they didn't actually even start the procedure until 2:45 and I was home by 4:00 with a half hour commute each way accounted for,45 minutes of actual medical stuff. and five hours out of my husbands work day .

something is very wrong with this system .

Came home had a bran muffin, a coup of tea and am feeling completely whole again.

Re the prolonged clear liquid fast- the dr. says it makes the whole prep easier. Yeah right. The anaestheseologist was all set to panic over my low heart rate until I splained him about my training regimine.

thanks for the sympathies and good luck to all of you who are on the same journey.
