Day 93 -- On the road again

I point my car east on I-90, and it just seems to know the way.  The trip to Rochester tonight (12 Dec), however, took longer than the normal two-and-a-half hours.  Having a daughter w/ Crohn's Disease means you learn very quickly where all the rest stops, convenience stores, and truck stops are along the way.  It didn't help that she was preparing for the colonoscopy.  All the stress of finals, illness, and Christmas took a toll on me tonight, and I got a little frustrated w/ her.  She hates taking the MoviPrep solution to clean her out.  I can't blame her....just smelling the powder made me want to vomit, and she was supposed to drink 64 ounces of that stuff.  She was supposed to start drinking it while we were en route to Mayo so it had time to work throughout the night.  Reasoning was pointless.  Begging was futile.  Crying was inevitable.  We stopped at Target for Miralax.  It's the only thing she can tolerate.  So by the time we got to the hotel, I was completely worn out.  I mean so exhausted that I couldn't even remember driving the last 25 miles.  Not good I know.  Thank God the car knows the way.
