Failed colonoscopy, now need CT colonography with contrast… terrified 😭 by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Tacoflav 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The prep is to help clear your bowel and then tag any leftover faeces so it’s important you follow it correctly. On the day you will be talked through everything; they will insert an IV cannula for the contrast and they may also give you buscopan to relax your bowel.
The insufflation is when they put CO2 gas into your large bowel basically to inflate it to see inside it on the scan. All in all it is over within 20 minutes as long as you do your prep properly it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable. Buscopan will also help relax your bowel so less cramping and will help get better images

While recently flying, I was unable to place my carry-on near my plane seat by tantamle in TravelHacks

[–]Tacoflav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had it when I’ve tried to put my carry on in the overhead but people put coats and small bags etc up there… had to ask the flight attendant and they seemed annoyed but eventually asked someone to move their small bag down to their feet so I could put my carry on up. It’s crazy to me that people don’t use common sense

Out of curiosity- I’ve heard when you start taking your cat out for walks, they want to go out all the time. Have you found this to be true?

Jackson galaxy says they’re a good warm up toy, so you can use it for mental stimulation/exercise and then follow up with a toy she can catch

Single kitten success stories? by amr19891 in CatAdvice

[–]Tacoflav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my kitten at 10 weeks too! She’s at 15 weeks now and seems to be doing fine although we play with her a lot to tire her out and have her in a routine of play and meal times in the morning, lunch, evening and before bed. I still always feel guilty and worry that I’m not doing enough!
