Actually, that poem's in production now, along with "poem for my right breast." "ode to my colon" begins with Shar's rule, which is not to commit suicide until you're at least 50. I've added colonoscopy to the "things not to do before fifty" list.
Except that I had a polyp, so now I can't eat any fresh fruits or raw veggies for two weeks, no nuts or corn, no popcorn, etc. And my endoscopy found some stomach inflamation, so more biopsies were done. And of course I'm nervous about that. My doc said he didn't know what it could be from, so I'm jittery.
After the surgery, I felt like crap--all gassy and bloated (gas pain is awful pain, especially when it's in ten different places in your belly!). I slept on the sofa from about 7:00 to 8:30, when I dragged myself up to bed. I lay awake from four to five, and now it's almost six. Gave up on trying to sleep. You think 9 hours is enough?
I'm starving. I had nothing to eat except jello after Wednesday night and until Friday at 6:00 p.m., at which time I ate a slice of pizza and then another about half an hour apart.
Well, that's all I had to say. Just rambling while my husband and daughter snooze soundly and without worry. Hoping the stomach inflamation isn't anything serious (the c word pops into mind and frightens me).
Bye.
