    Well, I got my EGD and colonoscopy this morning. I was afraid I'd have
    to do the latter again, as I couldn't finish the prep work for it. I
    drank half the bottle of MyLytely, enhancing it with lemonade Kool-Aid
    Flavor packets, so make it tart, and remove the "nasty taste" it had
    otherwise.

    Unfortunately, having not eaten in over 24 hours, I got a severe
    build-up of stomach acid, and it was reacting with the solution...to
    where I got chilled, nearly nauseous, and very sleepy. But, thankfully,
    the doctor was able to complete both (only 1 polyp...I have to call on Wednesday for a biopsy report), and I don't have to do them again for 3
    years.

    But, next time, I'm going back to Citrate Of Magnesia and Ducolax
    tablets. If I have to, I'll get 2 bottles of the citrate of magnesia,
    but that's still less than half a gallon of that nasty stuff.

    I thought I might have a detached retina, with all the floaters and
    flashes I've been experiencing in my eyes lately. But, a retinal exam
    the other day (man, that light was so bright), showed that while I might
    have a small tear, I don't need any surgery at this time.

    They did give me a handout on "flashes and floaters", and told me to
    "look for a dark curtain" entering the eye from any direction. If I
    notice that, I have to get in for emergency surgery, before I go blind.

    So, that's something to keep an eye on...pun intended.
