Liked the story a lot except for the part about Minneapolis since I moved down from there to here 8 years ago
On the serious side and I know a little something about colonoscopies Moviprep is nasty stuff and it also can be eliminated (pun intended) simply by objecting. that suff literally gags me and I have never been able to consume it all. So the solution is to decline whereupon the doc will recommend an alternative.
What one doc told me in the beginning when I wanted to add flavor to the moviprep is don't add anything with SUGAR. why because if a spark is created during this procedure you and the doc may end up all away across the room
