1627-1626

Made it through the purge--and now have photos of my colon. The purge was difficult--painful, time consuming, disgusting, no sleep, and living on the toilet. The procedure was a piece of cake--compared to the prep. The two bottle of liquid that I drank--blasted right through my system. It happened in minutes--no waiting around.

The last thing I recall was the attendant asking me to flip over onto my left side--the next thing I recall was hearing someone speaking my name and me waking up (but not wanting to do so--I wanted to sleep more.

Given how the procedure works--I have no residual effects. It is like nothing happened--and yet something did. But other than being tired--I am not feeling any post-operative sensations.

It was wonderful to eat something when I got home--I had not eaten any kind of food for over a day. I just had an apple, orange, and some smoked salmon--yummy-yummy! My taste buds seem like they are cranked open--and relishing in the flavors and textures.

Unfortunately, there was something near the cecum--that will need to be removed and examined. I guess I should do what is needed--while I have insurance.

I'm finishing up my laundry--I thought it best to wash everything and change the bed linens. Will go to RSB in the morning--have to keep up the movement and I may not go to RSB on Monday (there is a PD support group meeting).

Easter Sunday this weekend--daughter is hosting a family dinner.
