I HATE THIS STUFF!
I will never again post about poop (maybe) so you'll just have to enjoy it this time around. To prepare for tomorrow's surgery, I had to "clean out" my colon. In order to do so, I had to drink this most vile, nasty, horrible, gaggy, and disgusting mixture of, of, of, whatever, that I have ever had to experience.

I had my good friend Kathe stand by me while I took my first dose (at school) at 7:45 am. I thought I'd just slam it back and have it over with.
Don't do that.
It tastes awful (though I probably mentioned that earlier). Within 30 seconds, I was gagging and puking...in the school sink (shhh....don't tell any of my fellow co-teachers). It wasn't a lot but it wasn't pleasant. Don't worry, I scoured the sink afterward.
So, then I waited,
and waited,
and waited.
Nothing happened, if you know what I mean.
I finally called the doctor at 3:00. The nurse said to drink the rest and if nothing "happened" by 5:00, I should call them back.
THIS TIME:

I followed my nurse friend Pam's advise...drink it through a straw on ice. It really wasn't as bad as the first time around. (it was still nasty!)
Yes, things got moving and I'm ready for surgery tomorrow morning.
I learned a lot about mag citrate though.
Like the chemical make up of the horrible stuff.

And, what it all means when it's all said
and done:
