preparing for my procedures on Monday

Well last night I did Mexican again with [livejournal.com profile] jordina as it was to be my final proper meal for a while.
Wednesday night, I did Indian with Peter.
So as well as being incredibly cultural for the past few days, I was aiming to make the most of my food before I am to fast starting today, well kinda.
Today I can't have any seeded food such as multi-grain bread, or tomatoes or anything like that. I only really have the choice of eating:
fish (out of the question for me anyway)
cornflakes, ricebubbles, chicken, white bread and, potatoes, pasta and rice.
Before I did have some special K as I figure it's the same kinda texture as cornflakes, but, as I was about to tuck into it, the bowl slid off my stable-table, and splat went the entire contents of milk and cereal on floor. had a bit of a cleaning frenzy there, I did!
So tomorrow I have nothing but clear fluids and a tablet in the morning and evening.
Sunday I am limitted to the same, but also have a tablet at noon.
Tablets are to clean the bowels, so I'll be, um, having a bit to do with the toilet this weekend, to put it nicely!
I had planned to go to the guide dog lunchen this Sunday but no can do now.
I will be staying home and close to a toilet this weekend! hmm I know!
I am a bit aprahensive about Monday's Gastroscopy and colonoscopy; will be glad when it's all over, and I can resume eating again; bet I'll be hungry!
I downloaded < a href="http://www.empowermentzone.com/mctwitsetup.exe">Mctwit on tuesday as I had heard some cool demos on net-mate's podcasts, and decided to give it a go. originally I had refused to give-in to downloading yet another twitter client, but with this one, I can do everything I'd be able to do on the website, so thought it was worth it.
So have been using twitter a lot, and really enjoying socializing on there!
Guess that's about all for now.
Til next time, rdFreak

Hope all goes well. Oh and I don't know how it works for Austrialia, but in the US you can text updates to twitter. I think the number is 40004 or something like that.

yep, I heard about that, but unfortunately we're not so lucky. we can SMS tweets, but we'd have to do that to a U.K number, which is more expensive.
thanks for the well wishes! chat soon! :)

Good luck

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. As you know, I have been down your road way too many times. Hopefully you will be knocked out and you won't feel a thing! HUGs!

Okay, maybe you can explain it o me in terms I can comprehend. *G* I've always used Twitter via Internet Explorer exclusively, and it works okay, but it's very underwhelming, at least to me. Just what do these applications do that make Twitter so spectacular that people are seemingly abandoning all other sites, such as Facebook? I hate feeling ignorant. *G*

I know I haven't been on facebook for a while. as I said in the LJ, I like McTwit because I don't have to go to the twitter website to update, read my replies, or search, or follow or unfollow people etc. I just can do it all from the application.
I have a fun time socializing on twitter, as I said. It can be quite addicting!
Hope that kinda answers your question.
Cheers!
