I did both yesterday, it was VERY easy.
The prep wasn’t that much fun, but it was LOT easier than it was the last time I did it. I had to drink two small bottles of “stuff”, followed by 5 8oz glasses of water or tea. Then nature does the rest. :-)
The actual procedure was a breeze. I went to sleep, and woke up 45 minutes later. I was in and out of the hospital in 2 hours total.
Yeah, my lower required drinking a full gallon of that panther sweat, not a couple condensed shooters and lots of fresh liquid. And you are correct in that it seems like you’re only out in an eyeblink and suddenly you’re in Recovery. I was home an hour later last Friday, munching on a bacon cheeseburger and a cup of chili. *chuckle* And ‘no driving, no alcohol for 24 hours’. Uh-huh. I was at the corner convenience store at 5, getting a 12-pack of Icehouse. LOL
