i had a fun, fun day today ... 

i went to ut imaging to have a ct scan done and i couldn't eat beforehand. they made me wait like an hour then made me drink this drink with isotopes or something in it so that they could have a contrasted image ... it tasted like cran-apple pear cocktail and death. then they made me wait an hour so that the drink had time to settle in my body and then took me into have the scan done. i had to get entirely undressed and put on this awkward gown that did not close entirely in the back ... then i went out and sat in a second waiting room where all the other patients were waiting but strangely they were all full clothed. then i went with the nurse and she had me lay in the tunnel where she set up an iv ... it hurt and she had to use a vein in my wrist because apparently i have elf sized veins in my arms ... then she put me through the tunnel where i saw a sticker above a bright light that said "do not look into laser." it was one of those signs that once you read it, you can't help but do the opposite ... i couldn't NOT look into the laser. then the laser started to worry me and then the tunnel started moving and telling me to hold my breath and i figured that once i got done with the ct scan, i might as well get my eyes checked because i'd been looking into the laser for about 15 minutes. anyway, then after the images without contrast was done, i had to wait for the nurse to come in and put iodine in the iv which also hurt and felt terrible. i could feel the iodine traveling up my arm, into my throat, down into my stomach and then it felt like i peed myself ... it was that warm sensation that you get ... then i got all distracted but then i figured out that i didn't and it was just the iodine (the nurse said i would feel a warm sensation in my kidneys. i didn't know that she meant my panties ... ) anyway, after i was done with the procedure, i got dressed and left the imaging place and realized that my wrist hurt really bad so i took off the band-aid and noticed that i had a huge bruise on my wrist where the needle had been ... now i feel sick and i hate doctors.
