Goop

Well, I had my first colonoscopy yesterday. As everyone who has ever had one knows, the prep is much worse than the actual procedure. You have to drink 64 ounces of goop. Cherry flavored goop. Its so disgusting.


After each glass Nate and I would practically do a cheer! 2 down!! 6 down!! Then finally 11 glasses of goop down!! (In 2 hours)

The day came and went yesterday. At first lying in that hospital bed getting ready made me tear up. Mainly because it brought back memories of my mastectomy surgery. But once I started to get realistic about it, I started tearing up because I was so happy. So happy that I was going in for a colonoscopy and not anything more serious. People get these things ALL the time!
After waking up from my drug-induced drunken stupor, the doctor came in and said there were no pollups, just some minimal issues. No cancer! Nothing to worry about! Phew!

Nate the Great was by my side the whole way (as always) and my spirits were high through the whole process.

All the b-s is truly behind me. And I'm just so very thankful! Thank you God.
