Please don't take mag. citrate and the Phillips caps together anymore! Too much magnesium can make you VERY sick! If your colonoscopy prep includes mag. citrate, I would not suggest taking either of those two tonight. You need time without adding any magnesium to your system. Please make sure you drink plenty of water to hydrate yourself, especially since you may already be dehydrated because of the heat

How long has it been since you have had a bowel movement?

What are you supposed to take for the colonoscopy prep? If you are worried that you may not get cleaned out for the procedure, call the GI's office tomorrow, and speak to one of the nurses to explain how severe your constipation is. They may want to make changes to the prep due to that, but IDK cuz the standard prep may clean you out. That stuff is usually pretty rigorous.
You can also ask about increasing your dose of Linzess while you are one the phone. Your GI will probably want to have you try doing that before switching to something else. I would also ask about taking OTC laxatives with it. I don't think you should be doing that.

I'm so sorry about the AC situation. You would have to know the square footage of your apartment and choose an AC based on that... you are right in that you would probably need a big and expensive one to cool a large studio. You should not even have to be be in a position to have to worry about buying one, as the AC is an appliance that is part of the apartment you are leasing from the management company... they have had plenty of time to replace it already. It's total bulls***

The kitties will be okay as long as you make sure that they have plenty of cold water. They will try to find cool places to lay, like you saw Pudge do.

Poor Suri. I'm so glad that you are so supportive of her

I think that you're going to feel better once this colonoscopy is behind you. It's going to be one less thing to worry about (((HUGS)))
