The date is set

[davidpizzica]

i've installed a padded toilet seat and stocked up on magazines. did anyone from your doctors' suggest a low residue diet- low fiber- for a few days before you start the prep? mine is booked for the 15th, so i'll be very interested in hearing about your experiences. huge hugs, and i'm handholding you in cyberspace. regards, joyce in columbus

Joyce, I don't have a padded toilet seat, but I plan to have my portable dvd player in with me (I'll watch anything but Flushed Away!). Te girl didn't mention a low-residue, low fiber diet to me, but starting tonight she told me to stop taking my Coumadin until after the test. I'll handhold your hand, Joyce for your test, also!

{{{{{DAVID}}}}} You'll do just great with it David!! It's a breeze except for the prep When it's over you'll feel like a new man

my boss wants me to WORK a few hours before the test, but I have a funny feeling I'll still have to be near a toilet. I'll see how it goes (ahem!) on wednesday. If so, I'll call in that day.

Carole, I'll be there with you in spirit to hold your hand and you might feel three sets of paws from Nikki, Daisy, and Marigold there with you too. Carole. you will be in my prayers for tomorrow. I'm glad we can talk each other through our tests this week.

[carole]

Thanks my dear friend, yep it sure is good to have someone to relate to and talk about our fears isn't it? if you believe in anything enough it will happen, so i am told, so yep i will feel your spirit with me as you will with me.

David, have you thought about inviting your boss to take this test with you?

I mean it is an excellent preventative measure.

Then "he" could work a few hours too along with you.

Sorry, I just couldn't refuse to write this.

Now, Gini don't give me any ideas! LOL! Maybe I'll order the same medicine and let HIM live in the bathroom! I think if I died, he'd say, "Before you die, cut this area for me!" BTW Gini, Carole and I have been giving each other encouragement to get through our tests.

david, if he does the prep, would he still be able to be that kind of a boss? since they're won't be anything there, just a hollow shell?

[davidpizzica]

Today I explained more to my boss about what I will be going through in the next two days and he apologized to me and he said he didn't fully realize what was involved. I'm glad he did and I don't have to work on wednesday. That's one worry out of the way!

[Freckles]

I was sure your boss never had the procedure!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Good luck David. All fingers and cat paws crossed here for you.

[davidpizzica]

Thank you Connie for the encouragement and I want to thank everyone also for making this a little less nerve-wracking for me. PTers are the greatest! I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers.
