in sickness and in health

The past 24 hours have probably been the most enlightening for my husband. He wasn't around for the last go 'round. So bless his heart, he got to experience the 24 hour clear liquids diet, the cleanse, the {new for me too} puking, the Ginny on sedatives, the photos, etc.

OK, forget the "bless his heart" BLESS MINE!

First of all, I eat. I need to eat. People around me need me to eat. I get crabby.

2nd, the prep. Last time I drank 8oz of mag citrate, followed by the GALLON of thick salt water. Awful. So, imagine my delight when my doctor prescribed tablets that have the same effect!! No biggie, 4 tablets every 15 minutes with at least 8oz of water then again this morning. Too bad I puked up all the tablets. OK, not all the tablets...I guess I got enough to do the trick. Liquids coming out both ends makes me crabby too.

Sedatives, great. Versed is my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e! This time was a little different. I do remember what happened. I do remember watching my innards on the TV screen and talking to the nice ladies during the procedure. Que sera, I guess. The drugs were good enough that I didn't really care. Oh, I also got to wear my watch the whole time so I didn't come out asking what time it was like 800 times. {that's for mom and dad}

Anyway, today was essentially just for fun. I'm fine, my new doctor wanted to do a routine screening while I'm healthy since it's been a long time since my last one...so she could have a baseline to reference.

BJ called me Benjamin Button after he noticed we were by far the youngest people in the waiting room. After, he took me to get a breakfast burrito. Bless his heart.
