I’m going in for a colonoscopy  on Friday, and tomorrow is the lovely day of having to do the “empty the bowls” thing which literally takes the entire day. Which I absolutely hate and has always been the most arduous part of the process for me all the 10 times or so I’ve had to have a colonoscopy done. On Friday after the procedure, I’ll likely be too tired to do anything but rest and certainly no problem solving. So – if there are any website or server problems in the next day or two, I’ll start looking into it on Saturday the earliest!

This colonoscopy is a routine checkup that Crohn’s Disease patients must have at certain intervals. My last one was 3 years ago so the Doctor said it is that time again. My symptoms and labs have been the same and stable for the past couple of years, so I’m not really expecting to find out anything alarming but better to check just in case!

On additional note – my daily background headache has been more achy than than normal the last 5 days or so. Really hoping the “empty the bowls” thing won’t make it freak out tomorrow! The liquid used for the emptying possibly lessens the effectiveness of ingestible medications (so, my migraine prevention pills among others) on that day and for my headache, sometimes it’s made it worse while other times it hasn’t. So we’ll see. Fingers crossed!
