I don't remember the 'zact name of what I used - it was lemon-lime flavour
(sort of) which I picked from a list of availabilities. And the little packet
of stuff made a gallon of liquid - of which I was supposed to guzzle 8 oz every
15 minutes.

I dunno when the next one is due - I may be on a ten year interval as I was
pretty clean last time. I small polyp and that was nothing dangerous. OTOH, one
of our managers had them catch a walnut sized mass and he wound up missing a
big section of large intestine and part of his liver. Fortunately they seem to
have gotten it all - he's one of the good guys.

That's typical of how I react when they put me all the way out.

No idea. I'm 'llergic to nanners. Which is a good thing as I don't like them
anyway. I'd hate to be allergic to something I really like.
