Finally Got The Call.....

I finally got the call from my doctor.  It seems the only problem the echo cardiogram found was that....get this!.....my heart seems to have a problem RELAXING!  Have you ever heard of such a thing?  Anyway, I have an appointment with a cardiologist tomorrow to find out if that presents any real problem for me or not.  *Sigh* Like I need to hit another doctor right after getting my colonoscopy.  That's scheduled for 10am and the appointment with the cardiologist is at 2pm.  I'll post what he says or does tomorrow evening.

Today was a total liquid diet day.  It's kept me from even looking in the fridge after this morning because I feel like I could eat everything in it.  I am THAT hungry for real food.  I've had several cups of chicken broth, some tea, some black coffee, lots of water, a bowl (yes, I ate the whole bowl) of jello...not even my favorite flavor (orange) just because I was so hungry.  I took the packet from the Prepopik box at 5pm as instructed.  It actually was a bit warm when I finished mixing it and tasted citrusy.  Not orange or even grapefruit flavor...wasn't unpleasant and 5oz is easy to take.  It took about a half hour to start working but I am at rest right now.  I have to get up at 5am to take the second packet (you take it 5 hours before the scheduled colonoscopy) and then I have to drink 3 more glasses (8oz) of any clear liquid, hot or cold, that you like.  I will probably do tea and some ice water.

The Beast will drop me off at Cee's house at 8am and she will go with me for the procedure and then drive me to her house for our lunch.  I have to bring celery with me since one of the things she wants to have made is some potato salad and she doesn't have any celery.  I have plenty here.  She will then take me to the cardiology appointment since his office is in the hospital professional center and it's close to her apartment.  After that, it's home for me.

The Beast will be going out with his church group tomorrow.  He does that regularly on Thursdays.  Cee and I had made an agreement to take each other to our colonoscopy dates.  Mine will be out of the way so Cee will have to schedule hers now.  She's avoided that too long....LOL.

I'm heading for bed after I shower.  I'm tired and sleep keeps me from eating.  I'm not sure if my intestines are clear or not yet but I have a suspicion.  We shall see, I'm sure.

Love you all.  Live more, complain less.  Have more smiles, less stress.  Be kind.  ***Hugs***
