Thinking "aHead!"

Now Playing: Day 682-The Final Road To Survival

Finally! It's Drano time!

At least I got a HEAD start on the day and made sure to set my cell phone alarm seeing I don't want to start treatment too late in the day. Last time I waited until later I ran out of things to keep me moving and it didn't work. At least today I kept my HEAD on straight and also was able to avoid all stress. WOOHOO! I even got a friend to pick up some wig HEADS for me. Aren't they scary? I tend to think they even know better than to try the liquid toxic poison. Hahahaha! Needless to say we all had some fun with the styrofoam heads! Who would had known the wig and beauty supply store down the street sold them?! Since I am now starting a small wig collection I needed some type of holders to put them on. If you keep them in the original packaging they will get ruined. I told a few friends I would come over their house while they were sleeping and hide them in the closet, next to their bed and in the bathroom. Hahahaha! At least it kept my mind off the nasty taste of the ole Drano today. AMEN! Now they have a new place on the closet shelf. Some of my friends even named a few of them. I know! OH LORDIE! I already see a home video in the making! "The Headless Wig Whisperer." Hahahaha!

With Trilyte (aka surgical prep aka Colonoscopy prep or more like Hell-In-A-Jug aka Drano to this gal) you never know how it will hit you or when it will start working. Today lets just say it hit WAY TOO FAST! I didn't drink anything after 2am and once I got up I didn't drink anything either. I wanted to avoid any delays with treatment going into the next day. Trust me it worked! It just worked a tad bit too fast...Five hours after treatment I could barely keep my eyes open and I was getting ice cold. I took my blood pressure and we won't go there on the reading. In fact it scared not just my friend but me a bit and that's rare. At least I know when this happens the worse thing to do is panic and instead I started reaching for salt packets, sugar packets, Pedialyte, Gatorade and Nestle Quik. I had a buffet of liquids all night into the early morning hours next to me on my side couch cart. After a night full of bathroom trips and constantly consuming a variety of liquids I was able to get my blood pressure back up in a safer range then I fell asleep.

Someone asked me today via email, "What is Drano?" My honest response would be, "Something you should pray you never have to endure on a daily basis because it is extremely dangerous." Instead I had internet issues the past 24 hours and wasn't able to reply but if she is reading the blog today I hope I explained it a bit better. Just consider it like the plumbing product "Drano" but for your intestines. It unclogs all the pipes. Hahahaha! OK. Wasn't funny earlier today but I think she might get the point.

I have yet to meet anyone who has to endure this liquid dynamite on a daily basis. Heck! I haven't even met anyone who has to endure this stuff on a monthly basis. I guess I continue to be in a league all my own...Maybe one day and SOON they will find something better. One can only hope!
