Slotted for an upper endoscopy (mouth to midway) and lower endoscopy (bottom to midway...basically a colonoscopy that reaches slightly higher) tomorrow at 12:45p. Diet of clear liquids* only 'til then, with two purges of Magnesium Citrate tonight and tomorrow.
*I asked if olive oil, coconut oil and hemp oil, which are all technically clear liquids were endoscopically-clear liquids. Medical Science was not expecting the old blog-meister to actually be chugging all 3 regularly. They never saw me coming--I was the first to ever ask (had to catch the doc in the hallway). Answer was "No, those cling. They will gum up the sides of your gut." At least they didn't try to maintain that they were not clear or not liquids.
