The Dreaded "C" Procedure

     It is now upon us.  Mike did all his prep work last night.  I think he was very nervous about this whole thing.  I am too!  I mentioned to him that most people had told me the hardest part was the clean out process. The actual procedure you know nothing about because they "twilight" you.  His comment and I quote, "I don't want twilight.  I want midnight!"  We both laughed.
    He had his procedure done this morning and was home by noon.  Only found one teeny tiny polyp. Mike assured me that the comments were correct.  They give you an IV and you are out.  He remembers nothing.  Hooray!  I am a little more relaxed now.
     I started the prep work tonight.  It really hasn't been as bad as all the internet comments make it out to be.  The solution to drink was kind of salty but still palatable.  Nothing like other things I have had to do in the past with my kidney stones.  That stuff made me gag! Literally.  So I am grateful for a better drink solution.  There is always a good side, somewhere!
Drinking that much though, made me cold so I have my electric blanket on.
     Procedure for me is tomorrow at 11:30 am.  I have to get up at 5 am though to drink another round. Cheers!

Dental work is all done though, so we will hand in our papers to Bishop Walter on Sunday.  :)
