     Today was a nauseous day.  Not for me, but for hubby.  Today was the day of the colonoscopy.  It started off at 4am when hubby woke up and drank his gatorade and miralax.  He drank all 64 oz of it then laid in bed sipping water, getting up and going to the bathroom and emptying out his bowels.  He had to stop drinking at 10am, which was 4 hours before we had to be at the medical center.
     We got dressed and left the house at 130pm.  We stopped at the gas station so I could get a soda then we arrived at the medical center.  I filled out the paperwork for hubby and he signed it.  They took us back and hubby got undressed and into bed.  The doctors talked to him, the nurse put in an iv and I kissed him goodbye and went out to wait.  His colonoscopy was scheduled for 3pm but they got him back at 230, half and hour early!  I crocheted and watched HGTV.
     They came and got me about 45 minutes later, hubby was awake and talkative.  The nurse went over the findings.  Hubby had this procedure because he has been suffering on an off for months from rectal bleeding and with being over 50, they really have to check it out.  So they showed us pictures of his colon, with a map of where each picture came from.  They did find a flat polyp.  They excised it and sent it off to the lab for a biopsy and we should get a report in 10 to 14 days on what it is.  They found evidence of hubby's diverticulitis, but fortunately, the spots were not inflamed.  We thanked them for the report and left.
     Hubby got queasy in the car.  I drove as carefully as I could but he was nauseous by the time we got home.  Once we got home, he started throwing up.  After a couple of hours and it didn't get better, I called the medical center and the doctor called in an anti-nausea medication.   He took that but still is having tummy troubles, still soaking in the tub to settle his stomach and still throwing up.  Good thing he took tomorrow off already.  Poor guy!  He could only eat half a popsicle.  Then he threw it up.  I ate the other half.
     I told Cassie about my dress for the wedding but since it isn't purple, she isn't happy and got off the phone with me really fast.  Tomorrow when I make the bouquet, I have to use just purple and cream.  She doesn't want the turquoise.
