Frustration

Yesterday was spent taking laxatives - in the form of pills and liquids, with no results. Then they gave her the liquid you drink before a colonoscopy (Go-Lightly) and finally it seemed she was successful! Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough. They tried to do the colonoscopy this morning and could not. Today will bring a Barium enema and tomorrow another shot at the colonoscopy. The doctor did increase the pain medication, so she is comfortable. She has been unable to eat since lunch on Sunday so has lost more weight.
The expectation is an uneventful day today and hopefully more tests with results known tomorrow.
