Hi everyone,
I am writing to bring you up to date. Today started very early as it usually does for me but it was on the heels of a well planned and executed party. It seems as if my friends decided Teri needed a send off party and they secretly put together a lot of my friends for an evening that I will not ever forget.
Anyway this morning at 5:30am I arose to realization it is finally here. I put my self together and headed to the airport with the help of a friend I stayed with last night, she's keeping my car in her garage while gone and will pick me up on return. I had a wonderful flight and the ride to the clinic and conversation with Dr. Marci Bowers and Dr. Joel Beck went off without a hitch. They were great.
This is where day two comes in to play; tomorrow is a day of early blood draw and then the whole liquid drano thing. The "bowel cleaning " drink from he**. One gallon of "FUN". If you have not done this you need to try it once, you will "like" it.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway I will not be doing any writing and the next morning is the moment when Teri takes a nice long snooze. So to all you wonderful gals and guys. Thank you for all the nice messages.
More to come in a few days. Same time, same station.

Hi everyone,
...tomorrow is a day of early blood draw and then the whole liquid drano thing. The "bowel cleaning " drink from he**. One gallon of "FUN"...i

That's not a gallon, it's four liters!

When I did the big drink, the thing I found was _not_ to add the horrible flavors that they package with the stuff. It tastes better without, IMO.

Good luck, and keep us informed!

Love your little cartoon. They have to make medical stuff taste awful otherwise we would not believe that it was doing us any good :heehee:

I guess next that we will hear from you is after they make you whole :bighug:

Welcome to the Bay Area Teri. I had to drink that stuff when I had my colonoscopy over 5 years ago (due for another one soon, unfortunately!). I only finished a little over 3/4 of it. I couldn't take it anymore. Good luck during the coming days. Send me a message or call me when you think I can come by and pester you.
