    Well, I just had the second dose of pico salax. So far it really hasn't been a problem. I go, but it is similar to before I started taking fiber to bulk up. So really this cleanout hasn't been any worse than the IBS they are trying to diagnose. Unless it gets "better" after this second dose, we shall see!!

    Thanks for the laugh, although that is still dangerous (can't relax that much). I can surely see that happening, especially with how tender it has gotten down there. I was sure I'd bought the softest toilet paper there is. NOT SO!!!! Kitten softness is not working today. Nice try though Purex!!

    Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. The next day I could barely walk. Mind you I buy the cheap stuff. My Mom keeps saying it's like sandpaper.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Oh, Gayle! My heart goes out to you! My dad just went through this a couple of weeks ago and it was not fun. His gastroenterologist (new to the practice) suggested afterward that he eat some yogurt to get some "good" bacteria back into his GI tract, and also to drink a lot of fluids for a couple of days afterward to reverse any dehydration from the prep and the procedure. I hope it all goes very well.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    And so the day has come. I got thru the prep now to get thru the actual test. I'm up and ready to go. Diego made sure I was awake at 4 am. Be ever so glad when this is over and I can eat.

    The kind nurse gave me enough sleepy drugs that I was completely unaware of the event!! It's over and there are no bad memories of it. They took some biopsies. I see the specialist in 2 months from today for the results.

    Yay, glad it is done with. Hopefully you'll get an "all is well," and not have to go through one of those again soon!
