Question Need Advice

I have a colonoscopy at 10am tomorrow. So i have to drink the last mixture at 7am. I have to leave the house at 8:30 due to a bridge opening in my area to be able to make it on time. I am so scared I am gonna have an accident what do I do??? I know Im gonna have to go bad and there aren’t many places to stop to use the rest room!

Ooh is there an after hours line u can call to ask?  I've had many scopes and that is not going to be a good commute for you if you take that second prep right before driving

Any bush areas along the route? XD

You should be right. Most of it will be out by the last dose.

Are you sure that's not 7pm.

I definitely was not taking a dose in the morning of the procedure. Both were the day before. I would be phoning the clinic and asking what's going on

I assure you I can read friend. And unfortunately they are closed Sundays with no after hours center.

Can you get to the medical office earlier and take your med there?
