That was unpleasant. Though honestly the taste of the stuff was the worst! I know this sounds weird, but I almost feel better being all “emptied”. Who knew.

What is killing me, however, is not being able to eat or drink anything. I’m going to have to go to sleep soon just to avoid all mentions of food! I am a bit of a compulsive eater… I can go hours or days without eating without really thinking about it, but tell me not to eat? Eeeek, I want something so bad! I’m really looking forward to the jello I made tonight… I’m having it soon as I get home tomorrow! As a treat. :) I’m making Den stop to buy milk and whipped cream on the way home too. Mmmmm.

So I guess I’m all set to go. I have to remember to take off my wedding band tomorrow (it’s the only piece of jewelry I always wear, and I forget I’m wearing it!) – they said no jewelry, even wedding bands. I already took off my nailpolish (not like I was wearing much – a very very light see-through pinky beige tint). I made up my list of places Den needs to post if something happens and I’m stuck in the hospital for a while – would never want to leave my friends hanging. I didn’t look for my sweatpants though. I’ll have to find them tomorrow morning.

I’m trying just to stay focussed on what I have to do and the steps along the way, rather than thinking about how powerless I’ll be and all the scary things that will happen. I’m just going to take this one step at a time and get through it.
