Just a quick break...

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.
thinking about you hubs xx
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.
