High Volume, High Velocity...

Diarrhea. 
THAT scared me.  Needless to say, last week was...um...eventful.  I had to have a colonoscopy, and since I'm nowhere near the age of 50 I was reading up on it.  I came across an article that said, "You're going to be experiencing high-volume, high velocity diarrhea".  I laughed so hard that I cried.  I mean, how can you NOT laugh at that?  Anyway, I was super dehydrated the day of the test because the stuff they make you drink upset my stomach so much that I vomitted - while I was sitting on the toilet - uncontrollably onto the bathroom rug in front of me.  Thankfully my husband was a dear and cleaned it up for me - and didn't make fun of me about it either.  I was mortified, but thankfully it was only a mixture of Propel flavored water and Miralax.  My husband gleefly commented that my vomit smelled like berry juice.  G-R-O-S-S.

I guess my husband felt bad about my medical ordeal, so he bought a massage package for me at a local spa.  It has always been on my "To-Do" list - a Hot Stone Massage.  It was magically delicious.  The room was dimly lt and calming music was playing.  First they massage your entire body once over, and then they massage it next while using warm stones.  Once the stones they are using lose heat, they replace them with new warm ones.  The stones are smooth, so they don't hurt and the weight and heat of them feel great.  It was SO relaxing.  My husband did a great job in that regard!  Now I can check it off my "list".  Although, I wouldn't mind doing it again in the future.  I definitely have to recommend it if you haven't tried it before.  A little expensive, but definitely worth at least a one time splurge for the experience.
