silver lining

Spent most of Thursday in the bathroom thanks to a new acquaintance named Visicol. (and later in the afternoon, his lady friend Dulcolax) Perhaps not quite so healthy a method of cleansing as the more traditional three day fast followed by a salt water wash out, but effective none-the-less.

At the beginning of the month, I'd been dreading this whole two day ordeal, but decided that it wasn't doing me any good to wallow in worry. After remembering that The Davinci Code had been sitting next to my bed for several weeks, patiently waiting for an open window of time in which I could read it cover to cover, I began to look forward to spending a day tied to the bathroom.

So, I joined the list of folks who've read The Code, and my insides were cleaner than they've been in quite some time. Making it easy for the doctor to excise the problematic polyp from inside me.

polyps, to me, seem to be something more likely found at the bottom of the sea rather than inside the large intestine

I even got to see the little oceanic creature, though my haze of sedation makes it hard to remember whether it was the size of a grape or a grapefruit. Both common sense and healthy hopes lead me toward grape. It's only my artistic need for hyperbole that prefers the latter.

I must admit, I was curious when you mentioned your colonoscopy a few weeks back. Sorry to hear you've got a polyp (eghads!)... but glad it's nothing more sinister.
