GRRRRRrrrr!

Ode to Famish
I can’t eat I’m on edge
I’m forlorn I allege
I can’t party, no cheese
Not even a banana tease.
All night I’ll be forced
To drink liquids and worse
All night I’ll be running:
My system is cursed!
Is it heartbreak?
The Asian Flu?
A wild tornado?
A hole in my shoe?
No no it’s not one
of those all-nifty reasons
It’s just a procedure
every five seasons.
Who could be mellow
When you have to eat jello?
I’m craving spaghetti:
My day’s a travesghetti!
A hospital johnny
I completely detest;
My indulges stricken
By a stupid old test.
Come on then,
Be done so I can eat candy
Finish up, hurry up
so I can feel dandy.
footnote: it's not a big deal and it's only routine. No food. No fun. Just horrible tasting liquid for starts. And a little out-patient hospital admission tomorrow morning. No need to be graphic: I'm sure you get the idea.
Don't ask me to borrow money tonight. I'm in no mood.
love kj

  3. Oooh - that prep is the worst! (I had to do it over the summer.)

    I loooove that you turned it into a poem - you are fantastic... seriously.

    Wishing you an easy breezy tomorrow...

  5. I know of which you speak, and the stuff you have to drink is by FAR the worst part. It will be over soon, kj, and then it will be years before you have to do it again. xo!

  15. I HATE that test and they want me to do it next at age 80. Are they kidding me? I will not make my little old lady eighty year old self go through this indignation. I refuse. One or was it twice now was enough!
    Good luck with yours and glad you have such an easy attitude about it. I don't mind the NOT eating so much as the fullness beyond belief and the gagging after drinking nearly a gallon of that guck!
    You will NOT believe this but my word verification is fulla!!! amazing.

  17. lynn, i'm with you. the doc told me i have to do it again in five years (my Mother had colon cancer) but i'm not so sure about that! guck is a good word choice.

    cat, i love you too and i'm no longer feeling cranky. poor me for 24 hours. i can say that with true sympathy :^)

  20. Ugh. If it is the same test that I have to have every five years then I will not say anything to irk you right now! I had the first one done four years ago and was so so so sick from the godawful solution you have to drink to swish out every bit of anything you ever consumed in this life that I was violently ill. It was almost like food poisoning.....without the food!

    Very cute poem, especially for one starving.

  21. Lydia, perfect perfect description xo

  22. I have been putting off that test for a long time. I almost did it, they called for a pre-op, and I chickened out again!

    I'll take your poem in with me if I ever decide to do it, hahaha! Glad you're done with it! xx

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh no what did they have to do to you???!!!
    Hope by now you are feeling better and are alowed to eat and drink normal again.
    Take care
