Today Was A Laxative Blur

Didn’t get anything done today. I’m prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. The prep involves taking 21 doses of powerful laxatives, which means there's a 5 minute interruption every 30 minutes. Three of the doses are atomic rotorooters, the most fearsome is a dose of magnesium citrate at 3 am.

I’m having this colonoscopy because the Cologuard test my MD ordered came back positive for something amiss in my colon. This test is notorious for false positives. I’m hoping mine is one of them. If it is, I’ll be cursing Cologuard for wasting my time, money, and emotional energy.

I show up at the surgery center at 7 am, which means getting up a 4:45 am. It’s gonna be a fun day tomorrow.
