I wanted to take a brief moment to explain my absence here. Those who know me know that I tend to do things in a very BIG way. Unfortunately, this is not always good when prepping for a colonoscopy!

Without sharing more than necessary, I have spent the last four days of my Birthday Month on a rollercoaster of medical challenges and emotional upheavals. In my quest to guarantee my procedure prep was thoroughly effective, I ended up consuming too much water and not enough electrolytes, resulting in hyponatremia. I then found myself in the ER, followed by a long stay to get everything back in balance.
