My pamper me "cleansing" ie. bowel prep

So today I did the bowel prep for tomorrows DVH. I put it in my mind that this was a "cleansing" not just a prep. Cleansing is a spa treatment for some so I created my own spa/prep day.
I drank the MC around one and allowed the fun to begin. I made sure I had Prep H wipes and the latest edition of People and US in the nice clean bathroom along with clean hand towels.

Later when it was close to enema and douche time, I did a special beauty scrub and masque on my face shortly after the enema. Then I prepped my douche, hopped in the shower and finished my pampering in there. I used body scrub, scrubbed my feet, and shaved with nice shaving cream. Washed the hair and then the douche. I felt clean and fresh, soft and smooth. Then I put on my favorite comfy jammies and decided that you can make the experience much less undesirable with a little creativity.

Good for you. It's all attitude and what you make of your day. If you have to do it might as well make it as pleasant as possible. Best wishes for your surgery.

Good for you!

My husband said he would do a "cleanse" so I wouldn't have to do it alone... how sweet.

Then I just found out I only have to do a fleet enema the night before so he's off the hook.

I do have more than one bathroom thank the Lord. If you don't, I recommend having the hubby take the kids out for a special evening with dad while you complete your prep. You will spend a lot of time in there and jockeying for position might be difficult.
