well now...wasn't that just gobs of fun!! so, my goal was to begin at noon and see what happened. WHOOOOOEEEYYYYY!! i finished the gallon by 1:30 and just want to add that it is MUCH easier to drink with the flavoring in it. the pharmacist recommended that i try it without any flavor first and that was simply not doable. a couple funny things to mention: it moves so quickly that i drank it ice cold and it came out ice cold.

and i think that is physically the coldest i have ever been...and i''m from BUFFALO!!

now, i am waddling around the house, hungry and ready to do this thing!!

Well, I know you are glad that is all over with, and you got some sleep after "waddling around the house". girls heading to San Diego for the holiday!!! So Calif...rain expected Thursday. My trees and lawn are all happy after the rain this past week. Really they are. No..really..

Novelafemme · 11-21-2011, 10:29 PM

We've been having a ton of rain here in AZ, too, Tommi! And I would be lying if I said I wasn't loving every second of it!

I am wonderfully happy that experience is all over. Although, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. The nurses were all so wonderful and kind. The only negative was that I had asked a couple of times who all would be in the room during the procedure and both times was assured that there would be only two female nurses and my doctor (who is also a woman)...and as they were injecting the sleepy drugs into my IV, in walks a man.

I remember feeling a bit shaky but then the drugs kicked in and off to sleep land I went.

congrats on getting thru that. I know the prep is the worst part. I remember how nice the drugs are---my nurse was very pretty so I might have said something innapropriate---oh well--she is probably used to that.
I will keep you in my thoughts til Friday when you get the GOOD NEWS!!!!
