Yes, tomorrow is the necessary procedure known as the colonoscopy, about which humor abounds. Four years ago the doctors found six polyps, all-noncancerous, and I was overdue for another "scope" because of family history.
People dread colonoscopies mainly because of what they must do the day before. One is restricted to clear liquids and a medication that provokes continuous, even explosive diarrhea. The day before is unpleasant and often painful; after a few hours many patients, including your humble observer, can't wait for the actual procedure to start.

[Update - 12/5: no polyps! But doc says that I need to eat more fiber.]
