I'm working on my second half gallon of GaviLyte at this writing. And, not even remotely trying to jinx myself, it's actually all going okay. I'm getting it down (honey end the end of each glass is helping with the gagging) and I haven't had any of the telltale cramping that used to always accompany the evacuation. My boyfriend keeps saying "I told you everything would be fine!" but I guess I really didn't believe it. My fear of a repeat of previous experiences kept me from doing this for the last four years. Now, I'm not saying it's amazingly great and I'm ready to do it all the time or anything...that would be a big NO. But, I'm getting through it. I even managed to cook my son's dinner in between runs.
One thing I can't figure out is why on earth they can't find something better to use to get one cleaned out sufficiently. We can put a man on the moon, but we can't find a way to make this stuff taste better? Hand it over to Coca-Cola I say, see if they can come up with something! Oh, wait...bad idea. They had that whole "New Coke" thing which was almost as bad. Scratch that.
My procedure is set for tomorrow at 11am. The anesthesiologist will be there, although my doctor is going to try and put me just under enough herself first, but with him as a backup. I haven't been able to tolerate adventures up that direction without being out for years. I told her this, but she's still gonna try. I guess it's safer for me if they can do that, but I don't want to feel anything, nada, nyet. I'm way too sensitive from too many years of illness.
Well, back to the next glass. Wish me luck tomorrow! More to come.
