I had that colonoscopy and I was told it looked text book perfect. It was a surreal experience to be laying on my side, watching on a screen what the camera was showing them and knowing that it was in my guts. One of my hands was laying against my stomach and I felt the camera moving under my hand in ways that reminded me of carrying babies in my belly. I am relieved and amused with the fact that even my hemmroids looked text book perfect. I was so afraid that they were going to find something pre-cancerous that I just was too busy watching the screen to ask my usual battery of questions of the doctor and the tech doing the procedure.
Since then, I have had so much gas that the kids (specifically my youngest) refuse to sit by me. It's kinda funny. My sinus infection cleared up just in time for the weather to get stupid and give me a migraine. The week has been one long headache of varying strength. As of right now, I feel off and somewhat floaty. I know that some of the side effects of the migraine medicine includes that, but it's been a day so I think that it should have stopped by now. Checking my temperature shows that I have a low grade fever but I still have a cold. Because nothing this time of year is complete with out a cold to go with it. The coughing has cleared up. Now, I am waiting for my nose to stop running.
One may ask how I know the sinus infection is gone. The effluence of my sinuses is no longer tainted with blood or given to odd colors. More detail than you wanted, I'm sure, but it was more than a crushing headache that lead me to seek out the doctor. Who I offended by telling him that my normal temperature was 96.8 deg F. He insisted that my thermometer was not calibrated properly and that everyone's normal temperature was 98.6 deg F. Every thermometer I have used in my life, and I have checked my temperature so many times it's beyond my ability to count, has read that when I was healthy or at least devoid of a fever. So, when the thermometer reads 98.4, I feel like most people do when their fever is reaching towards 100 deg F. I am tempted to go in there when I am healthy and the weather is not stupid, just to prove the point. I kinda feel like I'd be wasting everyone's time, however, so I probably won't.
Now, if I could just not feel loopy that'd be great. I do recall that the side effects of the Imitrex that I take for my migraines can make me feel this way. It's probably what's driving this because my temperature is not high enough to make me feel this way. I am in no way fit to drive. It's a good thing that Beloved usually drives and I ride shotgun. Today, we're going to visit his parents. I don't know what to expect. I am hoping for no discussion of politics. I have, however, a bad feeling that's going to happen. But, if distasteful topics of conversation are the worst that happen, I still win.
