Yeah, it's a barium enema tomorrow. Which means, it's "empty out the bowels with heavy liquid laxative time!" Which means that I'll be sitting here, at the computer, until I need to go to the bathroom. WHich I will. A lot.
Meanwhile, I got the TV on, my computer here, the bathroom a step away with 24 double rolls, the plunger, and a black-and-white TV. All prepared, except for the horrible, horrible oncoming pain.
So who wants to keep me company through this?

Not really. The pain is directly related to the prolapse (see below) so until that's resolved, it'll hurt no matter what.

Oh I'm so sorry sweetie.... this time always sucks....butt (hehehe) at least you know there is an ending to it this time..right!?!? IF, you should have to do this again...buy a word search....I do that even now and leave it in the bathroom with a pen... it helps me take my mind off what I'm doing or trying to do.
I'll be online on and off tonight to check in on ya....

Thanks you guys for the well wishes.
The lax took longer than I expected to kick in, but once it did, it kicked with a vengence. I've gone a couple of rounds in the bathroom, and while it's not great it's certainly better than I expected. Can't wait to do this all night, really.
