Not a Happy End
Last nite, that dastardly stuff (moviprep) didn't prove to be the stuff for me....I was so sick.....cramps, bloating, and vomiting all nite, and then I had to drink it again at 4:30 a.m., and that wouldn't stay down either. Needless to say, they tried but were unable to do the colonoscopy and I will have to do it all again....hopefully with another product. I did have a PET scan after that, but between the two tests, I wasn't done till 2 p.m. I was so sick and weak, poor Janet had to drive me home. I've had a little sussess going to the bathroom this evening, but eating seems to be a problem. I did drink some gatorade my son Bill brought over for me, and I made myself some ramin....but only ate a few bits before I started to burp. So I think I just may have somemore water and go to bed. Tomorrow I have to drive back to Mayo, but Jimbo is taking me. I have a 10:00 appointment to see the ostomy department. I assume to get marked for where they are going to place it.....and I see the nurse practitioner and a surgeon who will be on the team of doctors working on me. Tuesday is still the day I meet the head surgeon Dr Heidi Nelson. Then I will get the plan, and know what is going to happen. More tomorrow. m
