Colonoscopies Part 1-If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry

Retired Wisconsin teachers Lisa and Sue share a humorous conversation sparked by Lisa needing antibiotics before a dental appointment due to an artificial knee and Sue picking up her prescriptions, including a large colonoscopy prep jug.  They discuss the importance of colonoscopies, with Lisa starting screenings at 38 because her father died of colon cancer and continuing every 3–5 years depending on polyps, and mention people delaying or needing earlier screening.  In We Didn’t Know What We Didn’t Know (Life Laughed), these two decades-long friends swap tales about aging, dignity (or the lack thereof), medical misadventures, and why you should never take your clothes off at the dentist. It’s part cautionary tale, part public service announcement, and mostly laughter. They trade prep tips and mishaps: clear liquids, avoiding red drinks, using Gatorade/MiraLax or other preps, hydration to avoid dehydration, and recount vomiting and last-minute enemas and pregnancy tests, scheduling frustrations, and Lisa’s daughter doing prep on a show-choir bus.  They joke about medical specialties and pitch “procedure pants/colonoscopy chic,” then promise a part two.Do you have a story to share?
