Argh!

My mom woke me up this morning to tell me I had a CT scan tomorrow and that we needed to pick up the contrast dye whatever. First off, holycrapWTH?! I was going to pack up my car and drive back to school early in the day so I could get everything in place before classes on Thursday. Well, that plan's out the window now since the test is at 12:30. Secondly, holycrapWTH?! I have to drink the dye whatever tonight. It's not a little amount. 450 mL, people. That's, well, I don't know how much in ounces, but it's about two soda can's worth. I'm trying to drink it now, but I'm having serious problems. Now, the stuff does kinda smell like muffins, which is both weird and amusing at the same time, but it tastes like CHALK! I may even have eaten chalk at one point that tastes better than this. I really don't know how I'm going to get it all down...

Oh, I feel your pain on the drinking nasty ass stuff for medical procedures. I had to do more than my fair share of drinking nasty stuff when I was in the second grade when the doctors were trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with me. Most recently I had to chug a bottle of some black gritty nastyness for an MRI in March. Nyuck. Good luck with getting that stuff down, and hope the CT goes well tomorrow. *hugs*

Oh, you poor dear. *hugs*

After a hour, I finally got all the stuff down, but it was not fun. :|
