Cats Scans
Oy.
So a CAT scan is no big deal; I've had many before, but when I got to the appointment, the first thing they said was "Oh, drink this barium, and then you have to drink another container of it." O.....kay. So I did that, and then they said I wouldn't be having the actual scan for another hour, so ...
I dashed over to R's for my last cat-feeding of the long weekend. There and back in less than an hour, and ...
Just in time, because it turns out that barium and Crohn's? Not a good combo. I managed to make it through the scan and then home fast, where I spent the next two hours in the bathroom, essentially, and then fell asleep, exhausted.
So that's been my day! No discomfort or pain or feeling sick, just a lot of bathroom time for me! And a Wife Swap Marathon! And now some hot flashes!
I have the life, eh?

I don't know why it is, but they always seem to spring something on you for a CT scan. Like, "Oh, yeah, you need to stop taking that medication before we inject the dye... but we've already injected it, so just call your doctor."
ReplyDeleteAnd I still think barium solution should come with a tootbrush and mouthwash.
