An Early Christmas Gift

Although Henri and I decided we would not exchange gifts this year, Henri got an early Christmas present today – a COLONOSCOPY – from Medicare and Blue Cross. The colonoscopy itself is not painful because of anesthesia. The day before the event is another story. Henri started his day yesterday with a light breakfast. Lunch consisted of liquids. 64 ounces of water followed by four laxative tablets and 64 ounces of Gatorade fortified with Miralax completed the day’s menu. Henri finally floated off to sleep last night (see picture) dreaming of the enema he would use this morning before the procedure. The scope went well today, and Henri is very happy this is all over.
