I was able to mix mine with white grape jiuce. GAG! I will never drink grape juice again. I was up all night; I assume this is because I got a late start. The nurse told me that the procedure is not usually too bad, but it would be painful for me since I am not in good shape. I have gone through this prep three times before, but it was never painful like this. She told me if it was hurting too much to tell him to stop. I am still going to try to convince him to sedate me. This particular doctor is a bit of a Napoleon (short man; huge ego)so I am not sure he will cooperate. I have a driver, and if my insurance does not want to cover it, I will pay for the sedation myself.
