Well the day started out pretty eventfully at 4:30am. I had my first cup of laxative tea last night right before bed, and it was actually pretty ok.

Until 4:30.

I woke up and my stomach was all kinds of grumbly and upset, probably mirroring my attitude the last few days.

So I go to the bathroom, and as I’m sitting there doing my business, I start to get nauseous. Like, I’m trying to decide if it’s better to throw up in the sink, or throw up in the bathtub, because I’m not done with my business yet. Then I start to get lightheaded, and the cold sweats set in. Mind you, this all happens in about 60 seconds. My palms are tingling, my vision fades and the next thing I know, I can hear Megan calling out “J! ARE YOU OK?!”

I guess the thud when I hit the floor woke her up. I know it really freaked her out.

Yep, I straight up passed out, sitting on the can. When I fell off I cut my head (picture above), so when Megan came in to check on me I had blood all over my head and hands (from holding my hurting noggin), which kinda freaked her out even more, understandably.

So I called the doctor today, and told him what had happened, and that I was doing a cleanse.

“Why would you want to do that?” he asked.

“Eating like shit for 40 years, I figured it was time to clean out my system and show it a little respect. I figured this was as good a way as any.” I replied.

“You know there’s easier ways to do that?” he remarked, clearly not really expecting an answer.

He said that it was probably just a combination of my blood pressure medication and the cleanse depleting my potassium levels. He suggested I stop the cleanse, but said I was just fine otherwise.

I’m going to proceed with caution for the next few days.

Oh, and the lemonade stuff, aside from being too spicy for my taste, in’t that bad.
