misery

[angelangel3]

I have a colonoscopy tomorrow and I have to "prep" for it today. Magnesium citrate is NASTY and I'm SO not looking forward to the rest of my day. 

Also, per my doctor, people should start getting them at 45 BUT, they just changed that recommendation recently-ish, after I'd already past 45, so I'm getting my first one at 49.

I have been on a liquid diet since midnight. The things we do for our health. :P

ETA: Decided, after spending 15 minutes having my body do unspeakable things, that I'm not gonna do it. This prep stuff is a bunch of misery cloaked in 'medical necessity'. If I drink another laxative or Gatorade again, it'll be way to fucking soon.

Oh lord it's awful. You probably already know this, but if you start shivering, it means you're getting dehydrated.

I didn't know shivering was a sign of dehydration! I thought it meant your body was trying to warm itself up so this is a cool new thing I know! Thank you!

Also, yes, it's awful! I'm not doing it ever again and I curse whoever thought miralax and gatorade mixed was a good idea. *makes blarg face*
