Scientific Proof I Have Guts
Dec. 6th, 2024 05:51 amI'm glad that's over. I know it's necessary but that won't stop me griping about it. All the other no-fun things about colonoscopies are pretty well known but in my case there was extra suck and fail.
See, after midnight you don't get any food or water. The prep directions specifically tell you no water, gum, hard candy, etc. So by the time I got back there I was pretty dehydrated, and add to that the fact that I have smaller veins than most people and ... yeah, they had to try three times to get an IV into me. When I woke up, I was pretty convinced there was a cat in the recovery area but I think I was just seeing some nurse's grey sneakers passing by the curtain. I managed to stay awake until seven last night when I gave up and went to bed. I feel fairly normal this morning.
Fox is going into Jax today for a team lunch. I was going to pass on going with him and wandering around St Johns Town Center anyway, but then he found a computer part he bought is being delivered today, signature required. So I'm going to run a few errands early, then be home around the time he needs to leave. I wanted to get stuff done around the house anyway, since I did almost nothing but the bare minimum to keep things running here Wednesday and Thursday. Fox brought in fire starter and everything, but today is warmer, so I'm saving that for tomorrow.
Depending on how I feel after I eat lunch I may get a strength workout in. Something easy just to see how everything feels. I feel like I'm pretty well "over" the marathon, but now I've got to be ready for Dopey. I know I can finish without getting swept, I'm just a little gun-shy of it since I know how much pain I can be in. I'm also looking at buying myself a good rucking pack (again) as now it looks more like we really will be doing some serious hiking and I would like to be ready for it.
I feel dumb just realizing this but my VOID 1680 radio station could be WFLX, broadcasting to St. Felix and Calisto County. At the beach, in the car, or wandering the Swamp Between Worlds. Your favorite hits, and songs you never thought you'd hear again. You know, this is kind of prompting me to start studying for my ham radio license again. Fox got his, I bet I can do it, too.
