Picolax

[ferlew]

Had to take this and other stuff to prep me for an exam.
Still dashing for the loo over 48 hours later.
How long do the effects of this flipping preparation last please? I need to get out and do stuff.

[Sqad]

It varies.......should have settled after 48 hours.
Monitor the situation over the weekend.........it should have settled by then.

[ferlew]

Many thanks Squad, I was only concerned in case it was unusual, I'll stay home :)

[Sqad]

oddly enough......people who suffer from IBS often have exacerbation of their condition following bowel prep and Colonoscopy.

Probably ends when it reaches flor size.

You should be done by now, I recommend sitting on an ice pack. At least you could get to the loo, I remember a four bedded bay. In a ward. Four elderly ladies all picolaxed at the same time,
one toilet you can imagine the rest.

yeah I had to squat over a drain in a side street ....

I think that was the time someone said
"wodger doing ven? wodger do dat for den? "
and I said somthing like - 'what does it look like I'm doing?'

[Old_Geezer]

Why, when I clearly typed "flor" AND PROOF READ IT, has something changed it to ";(:'"* "flor" ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody tech !

[Old_Geezer]

It's effing done it again !!!!!!!!!!!
Some moronic filter changing perfectly good metric prefixes !!!!!!!!!!

[Mamyalynne]

Which word are you trying to type?

Does it get underlined by your spellchecker?

Hope you soon feel back to normal Ferlew.

[Old_Geezer]

The prefix the precedes lax

Rocket fuel. But good fun eh?

[Mamyalynne]

The Urban dictionary to blame as usual O_G.

Blame Brexit - everyone does

"I need to get out and do stuff."

Au contraire, you need to stay in and do stuff until it's only an ill wind.

Almost normal, (kidding myself) I have now made it to 3 hours plus without a small room visit.Don't know why it is, but whatever meds I am given, I get and over the top reaction, a Piriton will knock me out for 24 hours plus, I get hallucinations if I take Codeine or Tramadol or the likes (ever tried knitting sheets with your fingers?)
This last example will sound ludicrous, but ....I was once put on Oxygen after an asthma attack in High Wycombe, and the bliddy ward curtains were dancing, and everywhere I looked I saw faces heading towards me.
Who needs booze??

[Mamyalynne]

Blimey, things do work on you don't they?

[Peter Pedant]

// "I need to get out and do stuff." // - the bottom has fallen out of my world !

no madam the world has fallen out of your ....

we should not mock the afflicted .... your reaction to codeine and wham!-a-dol I judge is pretty standard. I am getting very good at estimating if old people have taken small amounts of codeine. - they all seem to behave the same ....( no I dont mean they all leave a trail of diarrhoea)

and remember there is British lass doing time in Qena (Egyptian women's prison ) for smuggling Slammadol into Egypt - for her boy friend, the silly gairl said. Screwed for supplying. Blammadol and alcohol is a favoured tipple in Cairo apparently.....

[Old_Geezer]

Urban dictionary or foreign meanings shouldn't rule. There's clearly a legitimate use and the filter is flawed by overenthusiasm.

[Zacs-Master]

Or.....your posts are flawed by not simply reading them before you post. Don’t blame tech.

[Old_Geezer]

Get real. My posts are always read first.
