Lucky me, my first one!

Barium enema, that is.

Never had having this test done, I was apprehensive. It wasn't as bad as I expected but still not pleasant. I feel like I was violated, and after leaving felt like I had to be near "the necessary", as my mom calls it.

The nurse said I was lucky since I have an ileostomy. Really? Well, it meant I had less prep to do before the test which would have meant a clear liquid diet for a day or more. I guess there's always something to be thankful for.

Next up? On Friday a flex sig. No prep for that besides a pre-procedure enema. Oh the joys I am experiencing. Then I meet with the surgeon to go over my upcoming surgery on 2/13.

My sister has been telling her friends that I'm getting my asshole back for Valentine's Day. One of them asked, "Does her husband travel a lot"?

Any way, the test results were good (I'm not leaking) and I thought of pleasant things while undergoing it to keep my mind off what was happening.

Like kittens.


Or the Seahawks win!!! Yeah!
