Just a quick break...

>> Sunday, June 27, 2010

while I prepare for and have yet another colonoscopy tomorrow. I'm so sick of these it's not even funny. Actually, it sort of is, because I'm doing the half-lytely prep (two pills and then a half gallon of the vile liquid three hours later), and I took the pills minutes before stupidly, naively (I seriously don't know what I was thinking) attending a baby shower. That in and of itself is sort of humorous. Needless to say we left a little early.


You'd think with all the medical advancements out there, they'd come up with a way to make this prep more tolerable for all of us digestive disease sufferers, the people who have to do this thing multiple times a year, and also for those who only do it once or twice and dread every second of it. The flavor packets do nothing. They only ruin my taste for anything lime-ish for months afterward.

I'll be back once I wake up tomorrow night.

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. May tomorrow be quick and painless for you.

As someone with severe gastrointestinal problems, I found your blog while googling "crohn's disease." A colonoscopy and many, many other "inconclusive" procedures later, I was lucky to hear that it wasn't in fact crohns, but a mixture of other problems brought on by a bad case of salmonella last year. Chances are, my life won't ever fully go back to normal, but I'd like to thank you for bringing comfort to a 15-year-old girl that you can still have as happy and special a life as yours with problems like these.
