Another CT Scan

I'm sitting in the diagnostic center waiting room having to drink a 450ml bottle of potassium sulfate... this stuff is nasty!

You have to arrive an hour early, then drink this nasty stuff and wait for a minimum of 45 minutes before your CT scan.

I appreciate how lucky I've been to have the best medical care possible, but I about done with doctors and all the friggin tests.

Rant over, carry on.

What is your scan for?

@Coralmist right? It's mocha flavoed... or so they tell you. Not sure the fake flavoring doesn't make it taste worse.

Follow up oncology exam. I think after this one, the consider my risk factor has dropped back to normal and I won't have tp do them anymore.

Im just being a whiney brat... I know how lucky I am, but I'm so done with doctors!

@Coralmist don't put it off... the sooner you go in, the sooner you'll be able to lay that worry to rest.
