Yes 5 hours was hard. I had to sit in a little waiting room the size of a closet and they would ask me to try getting x-rayed every hour or so. It was super annoying!
This was a walk in the park. When the doc told me I could leave I kept thinking he'd change his mind and I've have to get undressed again and back into one of those hideous paper gowns.
Yes the test started with a super fizzy drink but it wasn't as bad as the one in Canada either. It didn't taste nearly as bitter and icky. Maybe they are finally improving things for us patients. Maybe they actaully tried it and it made them throw up! ha ha
Tommy is so sweet. He had an ibs attack at 3am this morning and he still came with me.
I'll post an update as soon as I find out.
I just read your post, I hope your week gets better. UGH! If it makes you feel any better, after today's icky test tomorrow I have to go to the gyno's. Fun, fun.
