As the Tummy Growls
I'm watching the Masters, and have been playing games on the computer since getting home from Easter lunch at Mom's. I'm in the midst of the preparation for a colonoscopy and EGD tomorrow.
I had vegetarian vegetable bouillon for lunch. My niece was saying how she had never had a bad meal at my Mom's house, so I tried to hand her my excuse for soup. That, and the Gatorade well they aren't exactly sticking to my ribs. (I know that is part of the point.)
I had to take two pills a while ago, and soon I have to start drinking the bucket of chalk. I've chosen orange flavor to add to it. Don't expect it to make a BIT of difference.
But the thing is scheduled really early in the morning, so by this time tomorrow I should be napped and fed.
The whole purpose for doing this is to see if there is something causing these bouts of gastroenteritis. Cause they suck pretty bad too. Worse than not eating for a day, and far worse than the little stomach ache those two pills gave me. And the bouts, well they offer the added bonuses of ER visits and violent vomiting, and nothing in the literature I've read says I can expect that in the next 12 hours or so.
So I figure I'm ahead of the game.
And that's all I have to say about that. (My family, primarily my ex, got in all the jokes earlier today.)
