Ah, great and TMI

I seem to be in my fall down phase again.  First was this afternoon at the very sad little peace rally marking 5 years of the war.  I blamed that on  a branch that I saw but still managed to trip over it.

Second was in the Safeway parking lot.  I had stopped by to stock up on my clear liquids (more on that below).  I was loading the case of water (on sale) into the car and must have been unbalanced.  Down I went to my knees, landing on top of the water (which was now upside down on the ground) and kept on going until my head hit the asphalt.  Oh happy day.  

I can have no  solid food until after the colonoscopy - I think I am going to feel like a bottom getting ready for playtime by the time I am done with this on Monday. 

There will be an "office" set up in one of the bathrooms, I take remain close to toilet facilities seriously.  Especially after the 10 doses (a dose very 10 minutes) of the Miralax/gylcolax.   Two liters of clear liquid in such a short time.  When I fall asleep, I hope I don't fall off the toilet.

This getting old shit sucks.  And my knee hurts.

Yeah -- I hit the head fast and often. lol


Why all the falling??

I really haven't been doing my falls from grace in public. Headers at home don't count, I can blame the meds or my electrolyte balance being out of whack. I does suck when you wake up from hitting your head on the floor in the doorway. I remember being thirsty and then wham.

If I was my mother, I would have made sure each fall resulted in a few days in the hospital instead of just drinking some Propel or eating something salty.

Liquid diet sucks. I don't see why a milkshake is not considered a liquid diet for this procedure.

Let me see if I've got this: you hit your head and lost consciousness and DIDNT go to the hospital???

I think I lost consciousness before hitting my head. I woke up from the pain of hitting my head. I kind of remember being in the doorway before I went down. Just got up, decided the water wasn't necessary and went back to bed.

And no, I did not go to the hospital.

See -- if I had just made that comment, you would bitch me our two ways from Sunday.

Passing out is not something you blow off.

Do as I say, not as I do :)

Really, it was probably ambien being extra strong that night. I asked the doc about the dizzy spells and she was the one who told me it might be my electrolytes. I usually feel better after the propel.

Ok, if I pass out again, I will make Mark take me to the hospital.

Wouldn't just be me bitching at you.

I love propel --- I go to Target and buy a 24 pack of water for $4 and a box of 10 propel packets for $2.50-3 -- so I end up spending something like $.60 a bottle for propel. :o)

Thats all I drink now -- save for the occasional diet coke with a meal.

I got some propel packets at Wally World to do the same thing.

I am a big water drinker (or at least I am a great chewer of ice, the water is a by product of the ice). Propel packets are probably going to go with us to Sturgis for my hydration.
