Testing, Testing 1-2-3

Tommorrow is the big day for the capsule endoscopy. All well and good except for one thing: when the doctor chatted this up she failed to mention prep. I thought 8 hour fast was it. Nope. The fun and games start this afternoon with a delicious bottle of magnesium citrate after 5 hours on clear liquids. (probably longer because as soon as my coffee is gone, clear liquids it is) I am not looking forward to this at all since Mondays are the day when I have something to look forward to after work. (EVEN if the whole cleaning out my insides was at all appealling which it definitely is not)

Last night while my brain was spinning on tests, family and life in general I had an idea though. I think I will start taking old magazines over to the ER and put them in the magazine racks for folks to read while they wait. There were no magazines at all when I was there last week. It was really sad. Maybe I will also take my bookcrossing books there.

Thinking positive thoughts for you TW.I really think the prep is the worst part. Course I don't know cause I've never had it done so it's easy for me to say.

Book Crossing and magazine sounds like a great idea. Especially since most ER's have magazines that are two or more years old.
