Oh. Ewwww.
Nov. 5th, 2003 01:24 pmYuk. I have to have a colonoscopy. That's a camera stuffed up yer arse for those who prefer to use laymen's terms. Not very pleasant, but I'll be asleep for it. What I won't be asleep for is the day previous - where I have to eat nothing, drink gallons of water, and take something called Fleet, which will cause me to crap unendingly. Oh yay. The surgeon said to buy lots of really soft toilet paper. Needless to say that statement alone filled me with a sense of impending doom. I hope we find out what's been making my guts hurt. I hope it's not Chron's disease! I hope I don't have to go for an ultrasound next week, where I have to slosh around for an hour with a litre (4 glasses) of water in my bladder!
At least my wonderful hubby will be taking the day off to look after me. I might buy a bell. I might end up with that shoved where the camera went, if I push my luck!

As far as the gas goes, I'm not surprised! They're bound to push air up there with that camera snipping sucking instrument. You have just reaffirmed my decision to take the following day off. I don't mind a good fart, but my colleagues probably wouldn't be very happy...
And a totally random thought - now that paid accounts get 50 icons, I am so signing up for one. Photoshop ahoy! Perhaps we could get a snapshot of the inside of my colon... or not.

Fifty icons rock, let me tell you. Now it's hard to figure out which ones to use. Okay, off to write on your fic. It's almost done!

Yay for Halloween fic! :jumps up and down:
Thanks for friending me :SMOOCH:
