Default Endoscopy/Colonoscopy on Tues. Guess what Monday is for?
OMG tomorrow is my "prep" day. Who thinks up these torturous routines?

I will admit its better than it was even 2 years ago when the DH had his done. You used to drink that liquid stuff that left an after taste for a year. Yick, that stuff was nasty! Now they give you dulcolax in the AM and then at noon, you take miralax every 1/2 hour until the 2 week bottle is gone. 14 doses! This should be fun!

My tummy is so tender, so upset, so nauseous, and so unhappy that I cant even imagine how far over the edge this will take me.

So, as you are going about your Monday, say a lil prayer that I havent balled up into a corner sucking my thumb and crying. I am so nervous!

I am hoping to avoid that big surgery where they want to take out 3 to 4 feet of my intestine. I asked the GI guy to go look, and see what shape everything is in. I hope I can avoid surgery, or at least get some answers.
