When the cat is away, the mice will guest post

Stacey wanted me to post for her today. She's miserable and isn't in the mood for it. She had to stop her medications over the weekend, so she's a walking mass of aches and pains. She wasn't allowed to eat today, and she had to take some pretty potent laxative because the docs like clean pipes for their expensive instruments.

So, I'll be doing the single-dad thing tomorrow - getting the kids up, dressed, fed, and off to school while still getting myself off to work. I'm spoiled, I don't have to do that stuff on normal days. Still better than getting a 'scope crammed up my butt, ya know?

(Man, I'm going to be in soooo much trouble for giving out too. much. info.)

Other things better than getting a 'scope crammed up my butt:

1. Pretty much everything non-lethal and non-forcible-assault.

Yes, I'm a walking case of colon cancer just waiting to happen.

Anyway, it's a routine thing, but good thoughts are always appreciated. Stacey loves comments, so I'd like to see everyone reading this leave her some special thoughts. Feel free to relate them to butts and things that aren't supposed to be in them. Here, I'll go first:

"Honey, hope everything comes out ok tomorrow."

The Dreaded Colonoscopy This Week

On Wednesday I will have my very first colonoscopy. This isn't like the first time I voted, or drank beer, or drove a car, but it's definitely a first. Everyone tells me that it will be fine, you don't know what is happening, blah, blah blah. That sounds all well and good until you are only a few days prior to the dreaded colonoscopy for yourself! It really is creating more worry for me than my hysterectomy surgery did for some reason. Maybe its the great unknown...because I had had surgery before. Does this make sense?

Anyway my diet Tuesday will consist of water, broth, Popsicles and apple juice...maybe some ginger ale. Yum-oh! So count on my posting having a little bid of edge - hunger will do that to me. Yes, half glass full people, I know I'll lose some weight!
