The scan went ok I guess. I had to drink these 2 solo cups of this really gross tasting stuff and then lay there while the technican took pictures every 20 minutes. It was supposed to only be a 2 hour test. And she kept saying everything was going good. Then she came back and she was like "not to worry, but we're gonna have to go to 3 hours because the barium (the stuff I drank) is taking to slow to pass through." She still said everything was going fine but I had to lye there for 45 minutes and then she came back and got an xray and it was ok. Then I had to go to a different room where I had another scam similar to an ultrasound but without the gel. The tech snapped a couple of pictures of my right side. Then they let me go.

It was an ordeal but I'm home now. I joked with my mom I needed a double valium on the rocks. I told my mom the tech kept telling me everything was ok but my mom told me she wouldn't tell me if something bad was going on. Like that wasn't her place or something and that maybe this extra hour meant something.

Idk. The tech said my doctor will give me the results. She didn't say anything after the 3rd hour xray or the second scan with the other tech.

I got a large regular Coke from Sonic and came home and took the meds I could and I'm unwinding. Again it was just an ordeal and boring. I think healthcare workers are supposed to be kind and caring. Like its in their blood. Or else I'm just an easy patient.

Mainly I just want to get that barium stuff out of my mind right now.
