24 Hour scare and GLOW IN THE DARK POOP!

Hey all.

The past 24 hours have been pretty scary. If you've been following my blog, you know not too long ago I started having abdominal pains. I had a hida scan scheduled for 11/22 - it tests gall bladder function by following this radioactive stuff through it on a screen...pretty cool. Anyways, yesterday at work, I kept having sharp pains that would stop me in my tracks. I ended up crying. I called to see if I could have the test moved up...THANK HEAVENS, they moved me up to TODAY!

So, didnt sleep a wink last night...I'm terrified of needles, and they've got to inject that radioactive crap in me..I was literally shaking this morning, a nervous wreck, and starving because I wasnt allowed to eat anything. Get to the hospital, they decide to do the blood test I have orders for...holy shit...another needle...WELL GUESS WHAT!! I DIDNT PASS OUT!! OR EVEN COME CLOSE! I couldnt believe it! I was soooo proud of myself! So I went right down the hallway to nuclear medicine...YUMMY...2 super cute techs to take care of me...damnit, at least one of them was married..oh well, made for a much more pleasant experience. So I get poked (by the needle silly) again...and the fun begins..for 2 hours. I have to lie there on my back, with this thing over the top of me about 3 inches from my face (the machine silly)...and wait for the magic to happen..at least they had good TV on - Judge Judy, Judge Alex, etc.!! I sure did get tired of being in one position (get your mind out of the gutter) for that long.

The tech actually told me that my gall bladder was fine, no blockages...I guess thats good news, but now we dont know the source of the pain that keeps getting worse. The tech said he bets they'll scan my stomach next. I'll call the doc tomorrow for Plan C....

Now the gross part!!! As soon as I got up from the table, I had to take a shit...like YESTERDAY! It was almost a disaster...I couldnt find a bathroom soon enough! Of course the one nearest to me was CLOSED FOR REPAIRS! What? OH MY LORD! I barely made it...it was dreadful...then I laughed because I thought "I wonder if this shit glows in the dark?" I know it was the stuff they injected into me, cause I hadnt eaten for hours and hours! OOH..its dark here now, maybe I should turn all the lights out and see if I glow! I could save a few bucks on my electric bill...he he....
