Whew! Long day today - MRI at 11:45

So I can’t eat or drink anything or smoke (I know I know) or even chew gum 6 hours prior. Nothing.

Woke at 5:00 for coffee, smoke, and have a banana until 5:45.
Probably kick back until 6:45. Maybe get a little sleep.
Taking the dog to daycare. My wife is going into the office today.
Work until 11ish and go to the appointment
MRI could take 30-60 minutes. It’s a regular check annual check on internal organs.
Eat!
We’ll see how I feel about ripping off the patch I’m putting on for the smoking.
Back to work.
Picking up doggie and going home to EAT!

Colonoscopy tomorrow. So today no food, just water until 2PM then cleansing begins. Luckily I am using the pills. Did last time too. Sure beats the liquid. To top it off I am having an Endoscopy at the same time. Taking it in both ends. But I am looking forward to the deep sleep.

I kinda liked the liquid. I think it’s prescription only because of eating disorders but just a guess.

I know your hungry so I won’t share funny stories about my friend who has to do a colonoscopy every 2-3 years.

I have an appointment for an MRI this afternoon, right hip probably wearing out.

My day is not as involved and I can eat before.

Hope your long day goes smoothly!
