I know there is a reason that you must do this once you turn fifty. I know that it's for my own good. I know there is a reason that, even though the idea of eating something disgustingly oatmeal, fried eggs, waffles, pancakes and show the world that they can't control my life like that, I just shouldn't/can't do that. I know that the procedure really isn't that bad - - - - - - - - - it's the prep.
That day I have dreaded. That day that I have abhorred the thought of. That day that I just want to die. That day is here.
Tomorrow I have to have my colonoscopy. I honestly am sick at the thought of facing this day. Already, I have sat here and watched Ted make himself breakfast and died a little. Actually, the part about not eating doesn't bother me so bad. There is enough little things I can eat that will keep me going. It's the idea about later.
We live in a world that when I started living in it, black and white television was the norm. That television was in a big old console with a screen about nineteen inches. Remote controls were not the norm and there were five stations - two of which were PBS. Now, I pretty much have a television in every room and that includes one of my bathrooms - yes, I'm married to the geekiest man in the land. I have a laptop computer, a tablet and a telephone which I can do pretty much everything on that I can do on my computer all within an arms reach. And I can watch those same shows that I watch on television on my computers.
Technology is everywhere. The things that you take for granted were not even a glimmer fifty years ago - yes, fifty that magical number.
So why in this age of little remote gadgets and advanced medical technologies, can I not take one little pill to do what drinking this horrible concoction will do? And not only do I have to drink it - I have to drink it six times. AND - this is after begging and begging for something simple like a pill. I begged and pleaded for a pill (Barbra Walters told me there was a pill available). But, I was told they were very expensive (Barbra Walters probably can afford it) and that I would have to take about thirty pills. This was the best he could come up with - six doses of yuck. I have to do three tonight and three at 6:00 in the morning.
Why can't there be just one little pill?? A pill that does what you need it to do??
I understand I need to poop my guts out and I don't have a problem with that. I honestly don't care about any of this - except drinking that nasty crap!!!!! I don't know if I'll make it through. Has anyone died from colonoscopy prep?? I may be the first.
