Whether he was talking to the partners or no, by definition, if the person is unconscious, touching them sexually is assault. It definitely calls into question the safety of patients under their care. </p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/colonoscopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonoscopy</span></a></p>

Dinah 🕊🇺🇦<p>Dinah's Colonoscopy Prep Plan For Non-awfulness</p><p>Big picture: you'll be on the toilet a long time the night before; make it comfortable. This doesn't have to be terrible and it is super duper worth it. </p><p>1. Schedule as little as possible for day C minus 1. Probably you won't be doing prep until evening, so work should be fine, but avoid having deliveries that might come when you're the only one who could answer the door. </p><p>...</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Colonoscopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colonoscopy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Preparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Preparedness</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Prevention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prevention</span></a></p>

My wife got her's in the USA and they gave her a huge jug and a packet of powder and said drink it. Here they gave me the same thing in a much cooler pouch and included well detailed instructions.

Shiny Amygdala, ph.D<p>So, I questioned the nurse after the procedure if I had dietary restrictions and she said none. So, the day after the colonoscopy I ate sauerkraut (to repopulate my gut biome) raw carrots, I ate green beans towards the evening, salmon for dinner. </p><p>Peanut butter on a rice cake for a bedtime snack. </p><p>At about 6:30 in this morning I wake my excruciating stomach pain. Have to vomit. Can't vomit. Dry heaves. Abdominal pain<br> <br>At 12 noon the diarrhea starts in. It's about 2:47 pm and I'm still going at it. </p><p>I read online documents on post colonoscopy care and found that a restricted diet is RECOMMENDED during the first WEEK after the colonoscopy </p><p>I know this is graphic, but I'm pooping out nonstop carrots. Carrots. Carrots. Carrots 😭 </p><p>I can't hold down any liquid whatsoever. My inclination is to halt all drinking for several hours until the diarrhea stops. </p><p>The doctor office is closed so I can't ask them for advice. </p><p>Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you so much </p><p>*Crying in agony*</p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/colonoscopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonoscopy</span></a><br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/intestines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intestines</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/crohns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crohns</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ChronicallyIll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicallyIll</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nurses</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medical</span></a></p>
