    To the poll, no good answer. It depends on how desperate I would be to finish a tree job, or get wood in before bad weather hit.
    If I had the day off, I reckon I'd do some work before "the drink" or till the first round of fireworks....which could be a couple hours.
    All the while downing plenty of water.

    All the best Sourwood. With the results too.

    Good luck with your procedure Sourwood, I've been in your shoes a few times. The actual procedure itself is not bad at all, but the prep work is the worst part by far! I wish modern science could help to make the prep work less miserable. Again, good luck with your procedure, it's always best to be proactive than reactive.

    Had my first and only one a few years back. Problems with diverticulitous. Yeah that "industrial strength" laxative is some serious stuff. Really gets you going.
    All went well with the "exam" the only issue being the arthroscope got stuck as im such a tight azz! :eek: :rofl: :lol:

    They had a telescope in the OR which i asked the doctor about.
    She explains "I need a clear view of uranus sir" :doh:

    Went through this recently. You’ll be able to split in the AM. After that, stay indoors. It’s different for everyone I suppose. I had the pills which weren’t bad. I certainly had to hit the can…but it wasn’t an “ooops! I crapped my pants!” situation. It was manageable.

    Just make sure the doctor doesn't have both of his hands on your shoulders during the procedure o_O

    LOL! Good thread!

    I had to pick up my brother when he had his last procedure. He was still passed out when the doc came in and gave me the rundown on how it went. He asked if I had any other questions, and I told him "No, I think you covered it all."

    Just then old brother woke up and told the doctor, "Sir, I have a question."

    "Did I, at any point, giggle like a schoolgirl?"

    The doc started rolling his eyes, so I told him Thanks, and we would be leaving right away...

    It all went pretty easy. No problems, thank The Lord. Having some back pain, and researching the internet, it is a possible affect.

    Back pain could be dehydration.

    Or could be gas.
    I've had almost a dozen of them. Never had any serious issues. Gas will move around a bit. Thankfully not too ripe, just pumped in air.

    Glad it went ok!

    A little humor: Given the procedure, one could come up with some interesting acronyms for “CSS” in the tile of this thread. ; )
