It's 9:07 in the morning on a Tuesday and I am at home.
No work today as I have spent the last 16 hours preparing for a series of GI tests.
I haven't eaten a morsel since Sunday night at 6:00.
Needless to say I'm a little edgy and a lot hungry.
But I have had the pleasure of consuming 64 oz. of Gatorade, 4 Dulcolax and a bottle of Miralax.
In case you are ever in the need for a good time, just try that combination.
It's guaranteed to make you move like you've never moved before!
A little after noon today I will be checked in to the hospital, sedated and violated all in the hopes of finding out why I live in digestive misery.
Not sure how I feel about all of this.
Obviously I would love to know if something is wrong so it can be fixed. But there will always be the part of me that fears the results.
Is there really an issue that I haven't known about and will find out about today?
Or will I be filed away in the drawer full of patients who get lumped into the IBS category?
Trust me, I know my bowels are irritable! No need for that diagnosis.
But I digress. Ultimately, I just want to feel good again. Is that too much to ask for?
So as always, I covet your prayers today. One simple prayer please- a clear answer as to why I have been so sick.
And I promise after that, you don't have to hear about my insides anymore!

Praying for you right now. I have compassion for your situation. I was 8 years old when I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (similar to ulcerative colitis). I spent all my teen years in misery. Much better these days though. I hope they give you a simple, treatable diagnosis. Love you!
ReplyDeletesaid a prayer! hang in there friend.
ReplyDeleteOh geez, so sorry you have had to endure this my friend. Glad it is over for today at least. Hope you are able to consume something a little more tasty and with a lot less "go power" soon. Love you.
