I don't want to go through that again. After turning 50 last October, Doc recommended getting a colonoscopy. (Not something to look forward to, but the realities of getting older.) After last month's consultation, today was the day.
The preparation is the hardest part. You're prescribed this huge bottle of laxative and mix it with a half-gallon of Gatorade, then drinking a glass of it every 20 minutes until it's gone. That combo has a nasty taste and I couldn't keep it down after drinking 6 glasses of that concoction. Most of the day is then spent crapping your guts out.
Relative took me to the hospital this morning. After being given an anesthetic, I was out and woke up in the recovery room a short time later. Thankfully, I was home by 10. Everything was fine and I hope not to have another one for a very long time.
In other days, both Chibis visited Llama over the holiday weekend. Da Llama was very happy to have his kids visit the Casa de Llama.
