WARNING: This is made for human consumption!

One of the "joys" (please sense the sarcasm in all of this!) of turning 50 is to participate in a ritual known as a "routine colonoscopy." Who in their right mind thinks this is routine or even something that one should be doing? Anway, suffice it to say I have succumbed to the pressure of the medical profession, my husband, family and friends. There were some funny parts to all of it and one of these days, I'm sure I will laugh about it!

When I brought the cleansing agent home, Greg honestly thought it was for the hot tub (we buy our chemicals in bulk!)! Oh don't I wish it was!!! And in case you are wondering, it is a full gallon and you drink the entire amount in about 5 hours!

One other funny part is that I don't remember very much about the entire day and I kept asking the same questions about the results, my IV, and how did I get home--finally Greg and my sister clued me in that I had asked those questions several times! I just don't remember doing so!

On the serious side, it is a good diagnostic procedure (or so they tell me!) so don't put it off based on this posting! I only want it to be in the archives so I can actually prove to those whom I said "not getting that done!"
