I Want Something Better to Drink

This drink for the procedure is the absolutely most disgusting thing I have ever tasted in my life.  Everything I need to take to make my insides better with tests tastes gross.  At least with the contrast, that I'm done with an hour before, tops.  This stuff I have to drink for the rest of tonight and then all day tomorrow basically while I sit and wait for the procedure to be done at four.

For my friends who read this, please keep me entertained because I'm going to need it.

On top of my inside procedure, I will be getting an ultrasound on my leg sometime tomorrow.  I have become an old pro at that simple routine, so I'm not too worried about that.  I just wish I could have remembered to keep my Ipod here, but I sent that home with the parentals tonight.

I think tomorrow to pass the time I am going to color my roommate a picture.  She has already had an insane amount of visitors since I have arrived, full house all the time.  But it never hurts to brighten someone's day with an adorable picture.

One of the guys here reminds me of Tara and Tom so much it makes me miss work a lot.  He says in front of patients how much he doesn't want to be there, but yet is staying longer then he would and is even in on his day off.   That's what those kids do.  I just wish they would text me fun stories now.

Later if I'm up and unable to go to sleep I'm writing a list of all the different foods I can not wait to eat after this week.  Remember kids, my last "meal" was a sub on Sunday for lunch.  I could barely get through my dad's amazing chicken, bacon and onion dish for dinner that night, and the salad at Harry's. Forget it.  So to say I'm in desperate need of some amazing meals is a huge understatement.

I feel bad because when I started this whole drinking thing, I had complete breakdowns and cried a whole hell of a lot. I kept repeating that I did not want to do this at all.  But I have to give props to my little brother for giving me the straw secret, it hasn't been so bad with the straw.  And I honestly want to apologize to my parents for taking my anger out on them about this whole thing.  You hurt the people you love the most is what the old saying goes and if that's the case, they have had a beating throughout this thing.

Signing off for now. I'm going to talk to my new friend next door :)

  2. Good Luck, Jen! And don't worry about your parents right now, they know this is hard for you, and will be there to take a verbal beating if it helps you feel better! (I remember saying some not very nice things to Bill and my Mom when I was in labor...hehehe) :-)
