There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.
I was shrieking when I read this part...
Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, ''What if I spurt on Andy?'' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough.
Chocolates? EW!!! No....
Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep. At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode.
Oh God, oh God, oh God.... (snort!!!)
My sentiments exactly! I was reading it to my hubby, SirKit, and there were times that I just had to stop, because I was laughing so hard I couldn't even get the words out! I was crying, laughing!
I definitely gotta send this link to my siblings and siblings in law, both as a reminder, and a 'funny. It will also go to all my girl cousins, because we're all 'of an age' that this will have to be added to the Pap and Mammo, but thankfully, we won't have to have THIS one every year!
I'm guessing the anesthesia is like what I had recently when I was in the hospital for a heart problem. They did a Trans-Esophageal Echo, and a Cardiac Conversion, which is essentially a little zap to the heart to get it back into normal rhythm. I don't remember anything about either, except I have a vague memory of gagging when the stuck the tube down my throat for the TEE. One minute I was singing James Taylor with the nurse, and the next thing I remember was waking up in the room where they were going to do the Heart Catheterization for which I WAS awake, but didn't care what they were doing. ;o) It was after that they put me back under for the conversion. I remember them attaching little pads to my chest, then I woke up again a little later with no memory of anything else they did.
SirKit walked with me as they rolled me from the TEE test to the Heart Cath lab, and he said I talked to him, but I have absolutely NO memory of it. Them was some GOOD drugs!
