Well, just had my 5 year colonoscopy. (that means it seems like the prep lasted for 5 years, lol)
Prep consisted of two days of liquid diet (any liquid that was clear - yellow or peach jello, or
same gatorade or juice or chicken broth). Plus - one big gallon jug of undescribed flavored liquid like
stuff to drink (8 oz. every 10 min.) I could not do it every 10 minutes without throwing up.
So starting at 1:30 I had two different kind of pills to take and then start the liquid junk.
I ended up at 8:00 pm finally. I actually didnt even finish the last 1/4 of the jug. So, after
living in the bathroom all afternoon - today I went for the test. They gave me an IV which was
suppose to put me to sleep and it didn't so i was awake and watched the tv camera of my
intestines. Bad thing was it kind of hurt because the nurse kept pushing on my abdomen as
he did the scope. Anyway, after all is said and done, my results are: spastic colon, little IBS, a
redundant colon (meaning longer than normal) moderate left sided diverticulosis. That's it.
No colon polyps, colon cancer, ulcerative colitis, crohn's or diverticulitis.
I guess all in all, things are okay. Dad drove me home and I had a little nausea so I slept a lot today.
And now I get to eat real food.
I'm sure you didn't really want to know all of this - but just be aware of good eating habits
and foods you eat. Actually, life could be worse, right? I do feel blessed and hopefully
5 more good years before another day like today. Too bad I didn't have my phone to take
a picture, but you wouldn't want to see that either. lol

Geraniums Forever
Now they are put on my front doorstep every morning and sleep inside during the cold nights. I'm wondering how long this will keep going. They are looking pretty alive and bright. They love being pampered too.
