Testing...1-2-3

8, 15, 20...I am soooo over them! As you know today was another Duke day for us - oh joy! (not really). Today I had a stomach emptying test done where I had to lay on a board in the ugly xray rooms and drink milk mixed with radioactive junk - i'd rather had chocolate, but no one asked me! I was sooo sleepy after not being fed this morning so I downed the milk like a pro and decided to nap for the 1 hour on the table where I was wrapped up like a mummy/burrito/swaddled baby. Thankfully the 'rents told them to leave my arms out so I had my lovie and paci and was okay. The test was supposed to show how fast my stomach contents moved on...after the hour was over the tech checked both my stomach and small intestine and verified that it was not over 50% emptied so we had to wait 30 more minutes before the second scan could be done.
NOT.FUN.PEOPLE!
I was hungry and ILL as a snake! I cried every single time I saw my diaper bag 'cause I know I have food in there and then we were across from the cafe and I saw lots of people walk by with chips and other yummy goodness. I tried to tell them I wanted a bite - but no such luck :(
BUMMER!
so as you know we have no 'real' results but thought I'd give you the 411 as of now. I have another test done Thursday where I can't eat after 6:45 am and the test starts at 2:15 - should be really fun. SO think of me Thursday as you eat your morning biscuit :-) I'll be thinking of eating your biscuit too! hehe.
Peace out peeps and Happy Monday -
Holden
