Hospital Tests

Hi from my bedroom. I'm weak but good as yesterday I had a colonscopy and endoscopy. It had not been an easy two days!
On Sunday, I was allowed only clear fluids so could only have soup in afternoon. I took out the soup I had in the freezer, but it was only enough for one meal. At 6pm, I took a laxative and went to spend a while aquainting myself with my bathroom.
I was scared to order soup on Uber eats as I knew I might be in my bathroom, so couldn't go down to pick it up. Lucky enough, my sister brought something over for my Mum, as I'm flying to Israel on Thursday, so she stopped on the way and got me some soup.
I stayed in the bathroom till late and went to sleep when it all cleared.
At 4 am, I got a phone call from my Rabbi. I had booked him a flight back to Israel after he was abroad. He got to the airport to discover they can't find his booking. After sorting it out - it took almost a hour, I watched videos for another hour and at 6am had a second dose of laxatives and met my bathroom again.
I was on orders to fast, so I couldn't eat or drink anything.
At 5 pm, my Mother-in- Law drove me to hospital and I checked in. They gave me a hospital bracelet, took my measurements, and asked me to change into a hospital gown. They put a IV needle in my arm and I walked with them to the procedure room.
There I laid down on the bed, they gave me sedatives and started with the endoscopy which was easy and over very fast. They then moved to colonoscopy and they realised it wasn't going to be easy. Apparently my stomach is very bendy causing plenty of pain as they moved in. They tried turning me into several positions and different techniques which eventually, with extreme pain, worked.
After the test, they wheeled me back into the ward where I rested until they said I was good to go. My Mother-in-Law and my wife picked me up. I went home, had soup and food and very shortly after, went straight to sleep after a hard few days.
Hopefully, these tests will give us answers to why I have gastro issues.
