11-02-21 Preparations
It was a long satisfying day at work. I was able to sneak some moments to place a small order for my friends Epicure and Pampered Chef parties. There was one thing I wanted from each. Of the two things I ordered from Pampered Chef I have heard one is back ordered and out of the order from Epicure I didn’t get the one thing I wanted as it was not currently available, Oh Canada Dry rub. It was nice to support a friend. I know what it is like to hold parties.
I stayed later to get my top priority items cleared off the desk as I will not be available tomorrow. I have a colonoscopy finally which was referred after my stint in hospital last New Years. I think it is the final piece of that whole puzzle and maybe they will finally determine why i had a portion of paralyzed bowel. I forgot I was supposed to be on clear fluids all day and had brought a lunch of my delicious left overs. Fortunately I remembered before I ate but I had not brought any fluids. Aside from coffee and water I bought a Gatorade out of the machine. Once i left the office i popped into Safeway for jello and broth, managing to get jello in me before meeting Rae and Roger at the cinema. We watched Venom from the comfy chairs. I liked it but there were moments when it was too much for me as the ‘amoeba’ was a monster from my nightmares. I think there were only 8 people in the audience. I don’t know how they are staying open, but am glad they are.
I got home quickly after the movie to take my picosalax which will start to clear out my system in anticipation of tomorrow. I remember the whole thing from 5 or 6 years ago when I had my first one. I seem to remember the prep was worse than the procedure. I am grateful that Keri has agreed to pick me up and bring me to the hospital and if I am done before her kids need her, she will bring me back home as well. I am just going to concentrate on it all going smoothly and that they find some answers. I am a bit hungry right now but my chicken broth was tasty. I should go to bed as I have to get up at 6 to take the rest of the solution. We did announce the cast of the play today and that is exciting. It’s getting real!
