Well today was finally colonoscopy day. Yesterday’s meals consisted of jello, broth and juice.

About 3pm my nurse brought me the first batch of prep goop. It was about 3.5 water glasses of it followed with a couple of glasses of water.

Then at 9pm she brought me 9 glasses of it!! 🥴🤮

I questioned her about why so much more than this afternoon. She wasn’t quite sure. Went away and then came to take away 4 of the glasses. It did produce some results.

In the morning the fluid was not the clear water that the gastro guy was expecting. I called the nurse and she assured me that “it’s fine”. Yeah, I’m not so sure and I don’t want to re-do this later. Nurse did come back telling me how she told the gastro guy it was not clear fluid. He sent her with 2 enamas that she gave me. Gastro guy kindly delayed the procedure so that the enamas could do their work. It was very uncomfortable. Eventually they worked and I was able to have the procedure about 3pm. It was originally scheduled for 11:30.

My 8 glasses of the prep.

The results of the colonoscopy will take a couple of weeks to get. I will now start the process to find out when I might be able to go home. I require less and less care here. I certainly feel mentally ready to go home. I will put out the feelers on what needs to happen to achieve that next goal.
