what's happening to our borad TMI

like "if you do it in the afternoon you'll have to go more hours without drinking any water!"

Aw, no, you can have the "clear liquids"!

I had that stipulation before surgery once and I was getting impatient for them to hook up the saline because I was thirsty as a motherfucker

Still can't get over coffee being a clear liquid.

coffeelax

dulcolax and miralax sound like mythical creatures

Gravelax, you dont want

Vodka is a clear liquid.

there it is

based on my recent experience I can't drink ANY alcohol right now, colonoscopy or no. :/

or I can, but I will pay in literal blood.

:(

For whatever reason IV liquids don't seem to quench a killer thirst (gbx pls verify), at least imo. I was pumped up with tons of IV saline when I was in the ER with insane norovirus; I started feeling lots better but was DYING of thirst. I begged just for ice chips but the staff said "no"--I convinced my husband to pour me some water from the tap because I seriously have never experienced that kind of WILL KILL FOR WATER feeling in my life :(

ugh ugh ugh I will kill whoever forgot to phone in my prescription

^^^feeling yr pain

What does it mean if my toenail hurt really bad for one night and then stops hurting and turns purple?

It's still purple btw.

Have you been running?

when i was a wee babby my toe turned purple and i cried and no one could figure out why. ultimately it turned out that one of my mom's hairs had viciously wrapped itself around my toe and cut off circulation, which ultimately led to my mom cutting her long hair and never going back.

this is not helpful, but i hope yr toe improves. not hurting is good; maybe exercise it for circulation?

have you been running... through mookie's mom's mind all day?

I would be super concerned about it suddenly not hurting tbh

Did you drop anything on it?

Have been walking a lot, not running. Not dropped anything on it. No hairs I can see.

Did you wear tight shoes shortly before that day? This is a dumb question because if you had, you would probably know that was the reason and not be asking here but both of my big toenails turned purple last year and eventually fell off (and then grew back) from wearing really tight dance shoes at a performance before they were broken in.

I have had two purple toes. Once, I rolled a vacuum cleaner back too far, sucked in my sock, and probably bent my big toe back far enough to mess it up.

The second time, I stubbed my little toe hard enough it was probably broken, shoved it in a too-small shoe, and stood all night at a sonic youth/flaming lips concert.

never say 'sucked in my sock' again

yessir

Did not wear tight shoes -- but maybe I stubbed it and don't remember? I think this was a couple days after moving, so who knows. I look forward to it falling off :-/
Guess I'm just glad it's not a sign of fungi or slow death via toenail.

Is it totally numb or does it just not hurt? If it's numb I'd go to a doctor immediately.

stop being so sensible

I have other 'entertaining' stories about that little toe I probably broke, but they're even more tmi

/checks board title

Spill it, matey

no it's not numb, it just doesn't hurt. i guess now i'm just wondering if it will fall off o que.

the toenail, not my toe

oh phew, you can dial my panicked rhetoric back a few notches then

also yeah I'd expect that toenail to fall off

just in time for sandals!
nothing like a little wormy toe to usher in the season

my mom has been missing a fingernail for several years now, toenail seems like nbd

Where does she last remember having it?

just went to pee and was overcome with the feeling that i was actually asleep/dreaming and therefore really shouldn't pee

it was by will alone i set my pee in motion

wake up

my colonoscopy went well btw. (except for the hell of going through the prep.) no fistulas. some inflammation in the ileum from my Crohn's, which is not surprising.

woo hoo!

I had surgery for one of those once. Do not recommend.

Glad you got a good report card, Crüt!

nothing quite like transporting 3 bottled liters of one's urine on a non-A/C subway car on a steamy warm morning.

if you ever do that again, you really do need to trim it down to stubble before you wax

better still, don't wax and have a loved one shave you
