There’s nothing like a “cleansing” for a colonoscopy to make me aware of how fortunate I am.
Three days before the test I was bemoaning the fact that I couldn’t have any fresh fruits, veggies or nuts. The day before the test I was really feeling deprived as I was limited to just clear liquids. I was disappointed that white wine wasn’t included. Here my refrigerator was full, yet there was nothing I could eat. Thus, I opted to pour the required beverage(32 oz) in a wine glass while indulging in “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Due to an early appoinment, I was up again at 4:00am for the final 32 oz. Once again I used a wine glass & a dose of my imagination as I finished watching “Under the Tuscan Sun.”
My “wake-up call” wasn’t just the alarm at 4:00am. I was reminded that so many people in this world are hungry with nothing to eat or drink and I was whining about my restricted intake for just 3 days.
Fortunately, the test went well & so did my attitude adjustment.
