spacer woes! How to get the optimum dose through them?
firstly I should say that I get a sore throat REALLY easily and in the past using my spacer for a full month has led to some horrible throat infections. So I decided to keep it clean and I was working a system of two spacers, washing one, using the clean one for a week, then washing the reserve one

Bowel Prep/Pre Op
Hope everyone is doing ok. Grateful for the advice I've received so far on here thank you all. I have my first lap in 3 weeks time. Excision, removal of cysts, bowel shave as colon stuck to uterus.
