My doctor just had me shit in a box.

Honestly, I think I'd rather do a colonoscopy next time if the blood test isn't a normal thing by then. Shitting into a box, then taping it up and delivering it to UPS felt like a war crime.

Trust me, that is so much better than colonoscopy prep. Between what you have to drink, how much you have to drink, and the fact that every single drop of shit comes out of your body over the course of a 24 hour period is hellish.

I just laugh that the bowel prep laxative brand we use at the hospital is called, "Golytely" - pronounced go-lightly lmao.
