Today I probably had the worst test of all the diagnostics test I've had. (See here. (http://penguinforum.miniclip.com/showthread.php?t=62774)) Anyway at 8:15 this morning I was at the hospital in the changing room putting on my hospital gown.
Then I went into this room where they put me on this table that moves around. Kinda like those spaces ring rides but very different at the same time. They gave me these things like pop rocks, but they were very white and crystal like. They gave me a little bit of water to chug them down with. As soon as I put them in my mouth, they started fizzing. If I didn't swallow them any sooner I would have been a rabid human. (A joke) They watched me swallow it via xray. Then they gave me this huge cup of barrium in a liquid form. It was extremely thick, and I had to drink alot of it. It tastes okay, so I chugged it down.
Then a few minutes later they took my into another room and took xrays of my stomach. Then they gave me two more cups of the barrium liquid. By now the other cup of barrium was sitting in my stomach, and just the one was enough. It probably took me another ten minutes just to get the cups empty. Not fun. So every 15 minutes for 4 times they took an xray. Then it was done and I got at school around 10:45.
Barrium isn't fun. If you are wondering what barrium is, it's a radioactive material.
I tested positive for an acid refulx or something where acid comes up my thoat a little, but I think it was when I burped.... :rolleyes:
So my 'fun' day.
