That wasn't so bad. Yeah the prep sucked but the golightly didn't taste as bad as so many people said it would and I've got a pretty strong stomach so it didn't make me hurl. It tasted like chalk water.
Thanks to all of you who wished me well.
Ralph Gizzip suggested that I should have a WiFi network so I could have blogged on the toilet. But Ralph, had I done that my blog would have really stunk!
Someone else suggested a television, but there was no way I could have done that.
Got to the doctor's at 9:15. They had me all poked and monitored and into the room by 10:30. Someone had put on my chart "light or no sedation" and I said that was OK since I have no sensation in that area anyway. They said they would give me some demoral and my eyes lit up.
"Demoral? That's my very favorite!"
After I got out of ICU from my back surgery, they moved me from morphine to demoral. It didn't really stop the pain, you just didn't care about it. Every time I would close my eyes, I would see pink and purple elephants and giraffes dancing on my eyelids.
That didn't happen this time. In fact, I got none of the effects. They gave me such a small dose that I wasn't a bit goofy. I was awake during the entire procedure, which lasted less than 10 minutes. The only thing I felt was a cramp from the air they blew up my colon.
Good news. No polyps. Next colonoscophy in ten years.
My doctor was a woman and a babe. I almost said, "What's a nice girl like you doing hanging out with all these assholes?"
They wheeled me back to the recovery area and notified Cindy that I was ready. I did the required farting and they let me leave. Like I said, I wasn't a bit dopey and I could have driven myself home with no sweat.
I can think of things that would be worse.
There was a guy there who had drunk two bottles of golightly. That's close to two gallons and he still wasn't cleaned out. He had to have cheated on his fasting. They told him next time he would have to do three bottles.
Having to listen to Barbara Boxer lecturing Condi Rice at her confirmation hearings. Since when does lying upset Boxer. She defended the Liar in Chief back in the 90's. Now lying bothers her? And now all of a sudden she is concerned for our military? When did that happen? Someone needs to bitchslap the crap out of her.
I see the Poodle is back from his Undermine the Morale of the Troops and Undermine the War on Terror Tour of the Middle East. He only attended the hearings to try and make the Bush Administration look bad. What an asshole!
Ted Kennedy is all upset about water boarding prisioners. Maybe they should just drown them like he did to Mary Jo Kopechne.
And tomorrow some sore losers are gonna turn their backs on President Bush during the parade. Shortly thereafter, they will hold their breaths until they turn blue (to match their bracelets) and then lay on the grounk kicking and screaming because the election didn't go their way. If only they could have counted the votes in Ohio about 500 more times they might have been able to manufacture enough votes to win. Maybe they could have used the Washington State voter registration system.
County Election Officials in Washington State, specifically King and Pierce Counties require two forms of identification to vote:
1. Any kind of voter registration card,
2. and a Toe Tag.
Thanks to Charlieb.
By the way, d'ya notice that voting irregularities only occur in Dimocrat counties. How does that work? How do Dimocrats get disenfranchised in Dimocrat counties?

No more so than usual. :{P
Demerol is your favorite? I once told a nurse, "Give me Dilaudid or give me death!" Come to think of it I said the same thing to the doctor before he clipped my nutz.
Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on January 19, 2005 11:14 PMWhat was Poodle doing in the ME? It had nothing to do with undermining the war on terror. Go back to your November archives! He was shopping for #3. I believe the term is stalking, and It would seem the target was a certain rich widow.
Thats my guess anyway.
Glad to hear everything came out OK.
Greatings from the North Left Coast (Seattle, King county)
my wife and I were poll workers for many of the last elections. We were specifically PROBHIBITED BY LAW from asking any voter for any form of identification. We had to take their word for it. Other than that, the procedures at the polling place were very good. We had to count the number of signatures in our poll books and match that number with the number of ballots handed out and with the total number of ballots that were processed through the ballot box.
HOWEVER, when the ballots got downtown, King county has "discovered" about 1200 more ballots than they have signatures for voters. The democrat govenor? "won" by 129 votes.
And yes, our congressman is Bagdad Jim McDurmott.

Posted by: David on January 20, 2005 09:49 AMIf there's bitch slapping of Boxer to be had, I believe we should make it a fundraiser and donate the money to, hell I dont care, just sell tickets and lets slap her. Of course, as a Kalifornia resident, I do believe I should get first shot. And make it a package deal with Feinstein and the line will grow very very long. Perhaps we could have it as a sideshow at the Orange County Fair, since OC is a conservative bastion.
You wouldn't believe what a guy has to go through to buy a handgun in this state. I know that's from the state assembly and not Feinstein or Boxer directly, but their politics are indicative of the state legislature.
(glad your ass scope went well. but you shouldve told the Dr your joke, at least afterwards.)
Posted by: daniel on January 20, 2005 11:53 AMHee! The Washington State thing-how fucking true. I am getting very tired of hearing about it here, though.
Posted by: Funkalicious on January 20, 2005 11:45 PMJane - Now you know how tired those of us on the right got of hearing "selected not elected" "Bush stole the election" Yadda Yadda Yadda Blah Blah Blah ad infinitum. I wonder how long the left is gonna bitch about Ohio? Probably longer than the right is gonna bitch about Washington. The New Jersey Supreme Court rewrote their election laws to allow Lautenberg to run. The Republicans got over that. The Dims keep acting more and more like spoiled babies who don't get their way.
