Colonoscopy Prep
For anyone advised to use Magnesium Citrate (MC) to prep for your colonoscopy, here is a little glimpse of your prep life from 4pm --> the next morning!
The directions I received were to buy three 10 oz. bottles of (MC) from any over the counter pharmacy. So, went to CVS a few days before and found the mixture easily and paid less then $10 for 3 lemon flavored glass bottles. That was a pleasant surprise!
OK, so the day of prep arrives. At 4pm, 7pm and 9pm I had to down one of those seemingly small 10oz. glass bottles of MC. I was planning to play volleyball that night, so I was hoping that it would be a quick in and out deal (Yeah, yeah, so I didn't do any research about the prep before starting). After the first sip at 4pm, my lips puckered and one of those feelings of something destroying the enamel on every tooth in my mouth came into play. I don't drink a lot of liquids in one sitting, but I just forced myself to down this as fast as possible. Shortly after, severe nausea and a raging headache kicked in and I felt like I was going to die. I can usually take uncomfortableness and relax on the couch, but I wanted to be in my sleeping quarters.
My roommate and a friend came home shortly after and I asked her to look at the MC b/c she's a dentist and knows different drugs. I needed to know if this was a normal reaction to MC. After looking at the directions, the last line read, mix with ginger ale. Of course, the stomache calming part that I overlooked and deemed unimportant.
I immediately went to the store and got 2 bottles of ginger ale for the next two 10oz. doses of MC.
The nausea was down to a tolerable level, but I just felt ill. No volleyball for me!
Shortly after the 7pm dose, that's when the firework began! I never knew the power and capabilities of my ass until last night! I know that it may sound extreme, but honestly, the first toilet effect of the MC could be likened to the fire coming out of the back of a rocket when it first blasts off! WHEW! I really thought I was going to be lifted off of the toilet when that powerful explosion of waste came out of my ass! It was violent, explosive, scary and quite shocking! Actually, borderline exciting to know that my body was capable of such a viscous force! So, blasting off was an amazing discovery until about the 5th time. That was when the fire began to kick in.
Guess there can't be a blast off without a bad burn left behind.
It was almost like someone took acid and poured it onto the opening of my ass. This was a miserable experience. When the last dose of this 10oz. concoction went down, I was hoping that it would be over. I couldn't imagine having to do this much longer. The time in between visits to the restroom were now becoming a normal rhythm of life. The acid burning feeling became worse and worse and I was soon seeing a little blood after wiping, but the color of the discharge was beginning to lighten and thin out. I came near shaking every time I had to wipe and began fearing that rumbling feeling in the stomach that sent me running to the bathroom.
At this point, I was so glad that I chose not to go to volleyball!
So, don't plan on doing anything once you start drinking this solution.
make sure to be in a comfortable place that has fast access to a toilet and warn other people that may be sharing the bathroom with you. Your going to need exclusive access at all times!
I finally decided to go to sleep around 11, but my body had other plans. Just as I got comfortable, the "somethings coming whether your ready or not!" began and continued for a couple hours after. To be honest, it would have been beneficial just to remain on the toilet for a few hours.
I finally decided to look up other peoples experiences on the internet and was comforted and entertained to know that I wasn't the only one blasting off during this process! I found some of the comments of others blasting off extremely hilarious, especially because I was experiencing the same phenomenon! I'm actually laughing right now at the thought of the whole blasting off aspect!!!!!!! Amazing!
The last time I looked at the clock it was a little after 2?
I finally went to sleep and woke up knowing that it was blast off time and was dreading the burn. To my surprise, the burn had disappeared! YEAH! A smooth blast off!
So, with all of that blasting off, I had to check the scale to see if there was any perk to that acidic burning pain.
And.............would you know......[drum roll]......................
8 Whole pounds down the drain in 1 night of perpetual blasts offs!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
From this point, the discharge was a clean, light yellow 100% liquid and the burning was over!
The goal is now to get to the colonoscopy location without blasting off on the way. Thankfully, everything went well and made it to the check in point with no accidents! However, when asked by the nurse if I needed the bathroom, I thought it might be a good idea to see if there were anymore launch times.
to my surprise, there was a scheduled launch, but it was tamed down to a light, gentle flow! That chapter of launches was now over! Any other fears of accidents in the operating quarters were all dissolved by the lovely white liquid shot through my IV from the anesthesiologist!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH................. everything from that point on is a wonderful mystery!

Sick of the run around!
Are you kidding me?!
I understand the BGE run around, though I don't like it, it's something that you can at least prepare for when calling.
But a COMMUNITY POOL?!?!?!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
A small little community pool...
So, I'm trying to be on the ball and go at a slow time, there were only about 5 people there. I was sent to another location to get a pass.
So, I find the other location after several u-turns and there is a strict list of times posted. I talked to the guy, who had no other people waiting for assistance and was told to come back between 6am-1pm or tues 7pm-8pm (at which time I will not be free). So, I prepared to return at 6:30am after getting off of the night shift, all ready with my 3 forms signed and complete, so I can get my pass and crash into my fluffy pillow awaiting me at home. So, question 1, I'm only a renter? Well, our previous friend who was staying as a renter with our friend who owned a place in the community signed a form...what's the deal here?
Panic hit this older gentleman. The 2 forms they signed were no where to be found, and the paperwork was still in hard copy with no computer in sight. At least he took me to get a photo for the pass, but my friend, the owner would have to fill out a form with my name on it, call some lady, and make an appearance at the location.
ALL THIS FOR A COMMUNITY POOL?!!!
GIVE ME A BREAK!
But, the guy was a nice guy...sorry that he had to deliver the run around spiel.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
Especially after coming off the night shift, this was not the kind of thing I wanted to deal with.
You know those moments when you can actually feel your blood boiling underneath your skin, and you wonder if anyone can see smoke coming out of your head?
I think, in those moments, whoever does not have self-control, could use that as a moment to do something stupidly violent. You know the thought is there.
I'm aching over a community pool pass run around!!!!!!
AHHHHHHH!

Blizzard of 2010
Anyway, back to the reality that we are in a blizzard...cars? what cars? It's hard to believe that there are cars on the road and we are actually a "civilized" people. Coming home after being stuck at work for 23 hours was actually one of the stupidest things I think I've ever done. Thanks to the guys that helped me when I got stuck and pulled me out with a chain! Sorry to the people in the uhaul towing their van on the back. the van swung out and got stuck in a snow bank...but what can a tiny, recalled toyota do to help?
Once again, thanks to our 4 legged adorable friends, to whom their little snow trails saved me calories burned from walking 1 mile home from the parking garage, since the streets around my place weren't even touched last night. what a nightmare! the main roads were horrible and the thought of having gone through so much to get home and to be 2 blocks away and not able to get there...not even able to park anywhere near...my heart dropped.
yet, what a beautiful site, with the snow covering large portions of the trees with the street lights illuminating them. Sorry, didn't a drive by shot from the cell cam would do it any justice, and having walked 1 hour to get home after working a 23 hour shift with no sleep, getting the 10megapx for 1 shot....well....last night, it just wasn't worth it.
To the running guy on pratt, who took a pic on penn? street, what a joyful encounter! and then at the harbor...if i had run like you, maybe i would have been on my way back when you were! however, got some good shots also, nonetheless!
