Ok, a whine…about colonoscopy

So…A couple years ago I had my first colonoscopy.  I did all I was to do but the prep didn’t QUITE clear everything to their satisfaction.  So…now …

I have not had anything solid to eat since Tuesday night around 10 PM.  It is now Thursday at 11 AM.  I am allowed to have pop-sickles and jello but there is a problem for me with those types of items.

If I eat the sugar-free ones I get very bad migraines.

If I eat the ones with sugar I get abdominal cramping and significant pain.

So…I have had WATER….and some Pedialyte … since Tuesday night.

No broth (I am sure there is a valid rationale but REALLY???? Veggie broth??? ) Probably related to the sodium…I’m guessing.

My colonoscopy is tomorrow, arrival at 0730.  One of my friends is taking me…and good god but I hope she has time to go to lunch afterwards!

I have a headache…I am VERY HUNGRY!…and I am getting CRABBY!

AND….today, at 8 AM I had to start the GI prep..while at work

YAY ME TODAY!!!
