More catching up...
Nov. 11th, 2005 12:14Was out most of the day on Wednesday and all of yesterday prepping for and getting a colonoscopy. Yeah, I'm only 39, but there's a strong history of colon cancer in my family, and my doctor figured we might as well get started.
I had heard, and confirmed the truth of it, that the prep is worse than the actual procedure, for which I was sedated anyway. One of the chemicals in the prep kit causes nausea in most people who use it, and I was no exception. My body reacted badly to the last cocktail, and combined with dehydration, yesterday morning was the sickest I have been since I was a child with the flu.
