32 ounces down

     Well, it's going.  The first two were the hardest.  The gag reflex kicked in pretty hard but I managed to fight it.  Unfortunately, I guess I'm strangely wired because the gag reflex seems to be tied in to my crying reflex.  I was fighting to not cry.  I won.  But I'm totally going to have to have a bottom lip transplant before this month is over.  

     And then, just a little while ago my doorbell rang and these were delivered:

 ......  from Daughters #2 & #3.  They made me cry (too much gagging).  They wanted to let me know that they're thinking about me and encouraging me and that they'd "10 gallons of gunk for me if they could".  See.... makes you want to cry, too .... doesn't it?  
Better have your gag reflex checked.

      I'm guessing that the updates will get less cheery now.  I am feeling like crap, no pun intended.

    Keep praying and commenting and encouraging ...... I have a LONG way to go.

ok- I'm just gonna say it...I do not know what all this 'gunk' does...I've never had to do it. Is the end result to...ya know..."clean out your system"? Sorry if this is a stupid question...I'm pretty sure that's the point but just checking.
If that IS the case, well, hope you, well, um....don't buy the cheap toilet paper... ;)

Ami,
Yes, the exactly the point ..... the "end result", which you probably didn't intend as a pun, but made me smile anyway.
And trust me ..... I'm not smiling much now.

LOL! I'm just gonna claim that the pun was intended...(it wasn't...) Sshhhh...don't you hate that voice inside the parenthesis?! And I just realized the word 'parent' is in that word....mmmmm

ok- you probably shouldn't be laughing right now...

I've been out this afternoon and by now you have finished with the
"downing of the gunk". Know you are not feeling well, but know that you are being prayed for and that you are so LOVED. Beautiful flowers from two beautiful daughters(inside and out!).
Love you, Vicki

you can get through this...if you can't, there is no way i'm ever going to be able to (there will be yearly exams of these kind in my future--yippee!).

use some reading material. i can let you borrow "the art of farting" if you want. yeah, i'd do that for you.
