Fill all your meds first, and get some juices and broths, crackers for after, so you don't have to worry about food. Comfortable loose clothes -- sweats, zippered tops/shirts. So you don't have to pull anything over the head, slip on shoes --sandals. Bending could be a real issue-- aside from some pain, you will probably be pretty dizzy. Have someone who can help for the first 24 hours if necessary. And a pillow for the ride home will help with the seat belt & bumps. Good luck, it will be fine. If you do a bowel prep, definitely recommend Tucks. JenniferAt Wed, 29 Oct 2003, anonymous wrote: >
