Happy day 4
Dec. 14th, 2008 10:28 pmWe decorated the tree today! It's lurvly. And only one casualty (not a treasured ornament, so no biggie).
I also did prep for my 50-year birthday present from the medical establishment. Yes, it's time for that baseline colonoscopy. I was a bit worried given the discussion from some folks on how nauseous they got drinking the laxative solution. So I'm relieved (ahem) that I had no problems. In fact, the lemon-lime solution reminded me of the salted preserved lemon drink that I like to order sometimes at Vietnamese restaurants, so I had a fairly positive association for the flavor.
I've never done a liquid fast before either, but chicken broth, good apple juice, and orange jello made for sufficiently satisfying meals, at least for one day. Though if I was smart, I would have made my own flavored gelatin (fruit juice and unflavored gelatin -- the possibilities are endless), because that artificial orange flavor was worse than I remember from my childhood.
