No Reason to Be Scared

Kelly, you're not rambling. But I'm going to relieve your worries. Here's my story: web page

I'm not going to lie to you about the prep. Hubby and I have a very tiny condo with only one bathroom. He knew what I was going through, and certainly knew to stay clear of the bathroom all day long. He was marvelous, and left it to me. And yes, I was in there all day long. That's absolutely the worst part of the entire procedure -- pooping all day.

HOWEVER, a realtor friend of ours was absolutely amazing about her procedure. I warned her about the prep, but she didn't care; she had work to do, places to go, people to see, houses to show. She took all the laxatives -- and then got in her car and proceeded to do her usual run-arounds. Can you believe that? Afterwards, she told me she had no problems at all finding bathrooms, and people were great about letting her use theirs if necessary (and she said it WAS). Then the day of the procedure, she just took a few hours off, had it done, then went right back to work. She didn't drive anywhere, but nevertheless she was working out of her office that afternoon!

HAVE NO FEAR, Girlfriend! And, listen, don't go to a hotel. It's your home too, isn't it? You want your own home, your own bathroom, your own bed -- and the comfort of the person you love to just be there for you.
