Colonoscopy!

People say that colonoscopy preparation is a bitch, but the all-liquid diet really doesn't bother me all that much, it's more the not having food or liquid for much of the day of the actual colonoscopy, more than the liquid diet itself on the day preceding it.

In fact, I rarely buy highly-processed foods or even go down those grocery store aisles, so it's something different for me to even stroll down the big grocery aisle of soda-pop, or to look at all of the types of juices that I might buy... It's all like, "'White grape mango cran-apple'? What in heavens is this?!", and I just bask in the array of consumer choices, as I look at all of the labels and I just want to try them all, each and every one of them (which, incidentally, is *exactly* the response that all those companies want you to have, when you walk down that grocery aisle and begin looking at all of those products).

It was also fun to buy the Jellos of all the types that I don't usually buy, since I usually buy off-brand sugarless Jellos that come in just four flavors (strawberry, raspberry, orange and cherry).

"Yes, let me get 'Island Pineapple'!"

The person who accompanied me to the appointment was the one (lesbian) sister of my one (former) (assisted living) client with (disabilities), too, since I've helped her out with a similar type of appointment that she had before, too.

And, since she has a particularly filthy sense of humor, I prepared a joke for when I first came out from under anesthesia and saw her, like I'd pretend to be super groggy, and I'd be like talking to myself and be all like, "I had this dream, that I had the most marvelous husband...", and then I'd pretend to slowly come to and be like, "Hey, [her name], what are you doing here, where am I...?", only, unfortunately, the anesthesia really did a number on me and I can't quite remember if I did that, when I first came to.

Oh well, you have to try.
