This Day......

I'm on the nervous side. Tomorrow is my colonoscopy. Everyone says it's today's prep that is the worst and that the actual procedure is a breeze.
No food today, only a liquid diet....and nothing red. I had lime jello for breakfast.
I can't drink my Dr Pepper since it's dark, but lucky for me the Friday Freebie last Friday at Dillon's was a 2 ltr of Mist Twst soda. So, I can still have some soda today.
My daughter was supposed to buy some ice pops but she didn't get that done and now won't be home until after 6 pm from work :(
We are heading out for Bible study in a bit. We aren't sure if this is our last week for it before we take a summer break or if we will meet again next Tuesday. We've been studying Proverbs and I will continue that on my own once we break. There are Tuesdays that I miss because of sewing club and then Tuesdays that we leave early for ladies lunch.
We have to take Willo and Jacob with us since they are out of school.
I guess how much I am online and working today depends on that bathroom time....or if I even feel like sitting here at my computer. If nothing else at least I do have my 2 tablets that I can take in to the bedroom with me. My laptop I can't because the wi-fi chip is out :(
Keep me and my nervousness in your thoughts!

I've had a colonoscopy twice. The prep is the worse. I no longer can drink Gatorade. Gags me.

When I had one it was such a 'breeze' that I thought it had not been done. I even told the nurse this when she said I could get dressed! A pap scan or a mammogram is much worse.

@marsha32 I am getting grossed out just thinking about the prep. I wouldn't be able to drink that much apple juice. Not a favorite either.

I have had a flex sigmoidoscopy and I was awake when they did that and it was so painful. I think they put you out for the full colonoscopy though which is a bonus for you :-) The only prepping I had to do was 2 fleet enemas which was not pleasant at all but compared to the procedure it was cake. I wish you good luck

@Castlerock34 I could feel it with the sleepy anesthesia that they give....I complained so much about the pain that they didn't finish.

@marsha32 Yeah I didnt go for the full colonoscopy just partial and they dont knock you out, I felt every turn the scope was making through my bowels and I could see what they were seeing on a TV which was cool and bad at the same time because mine was not normal, it was one of the worst experiences of my life probably top 5

My husband had a colonoscopy and I remember he had a list of allowed food and banned food to follow for 3 days, but he was allowed to eat the day before. Only white meat, no fruits or veggies until noon and only liquids in the afternoon.
