i am hoping to never have to get another colonoscopy again (until i’m old enough to need to get them etc etc) but tbh i would very much like to experience the relief and comfort i felt when i woke up, was able to eat a warm meal (meatloaf + mashed potatoes, perfect comfort food (and it being soft was great bc i had had a endoscopy and broncoscopy done too so my throat was SORE)) for the first time in over 24 hours, got to wear super comfy anti-blood-clot compression boots, was on regular doses of IV tylenol and therefore the most pain free i had been in ages, and then got to sleep for the rest of the day. AND there was the joy of being told i didn’t have crohn’s. it was solid

#marzi speaks #the colonoscopy prep SUCKED and i never wanna do that shit again #4 liters of shit yourself juice that tastes like saltwater #(plus a couple extra cups of miralax bc i had been on a muscle relaxer specifically meant to get my intestines to move slower)#plus all the walking back and forth to the bathroom ended up causing so much blood to leak into the soles of my feet #that not only was i basically walking on bruises that were only getting worse #but my swollen blood vessels had started to pinch my nerves which put me in the worst pain i have ever been in in my LIFE #genuinely i was getting delirious from the amount of pain i was in. brain entered full panic mode it hurt so fucking bad #thankfully my dad was there and got them to get me a dose of morphine. which was VERY pleasant #and made me immediately understand the dangers of opiates #bc i had one dose months ago and if i was offered another. i wouldn’t take it but i would lowkey want to #morphine felt Great . killed the nerve pain and while my feet were still sore i no longer cared. it was beautiful #ANYWAYS i don’t miss being hospitalized and scared but i do miss the sheer level of comfort i felt right after that operation #i was so tired and i knew the worst of it was over now so it was just. pure relief. i melted. fell asleep and stayed asleep mostly
