My CT Scan

Just in case someone wonders what a CT scan is like. Here it is:
1) Go to lab have blood drawn, (BUN and Creatinine) to be sure your kidneys can tolerate the contrast dye.
2) Go downstairs to radiology. Wait for the results of the blood tests.(about 45 minutes)
3) Called to the back given two jars of barium to drink Each jar is about a quart. Drink one, then wait 1/2 hour then drink the other one. It tasted sorta like a vanilla shake. (I said sorta)
3)Wait for all of it to move through intestines.(about a half hour) In the mean time I watched a movie on my iPad and answered questions about my iPad from the other patients who were waiting and the nurse.
4) Called to the CT scan room. See previous post for a picture of the machine.
5) Lie on your back with your feet  going into the machine. . Nurse starts and IV for the contrast die she will be putting in. It seems the barium isn't enough. That shows the Gastrointestinal track. They also want to light up blood vessels and things. 
6) The fun begins. Both arms over my head. In I go. There is a big stainless steel wheel going all around my body. The machine tells me to stop breathing(a man's voice) Then it backs me out. There is a little cartoon of a man holding his breath. It is lit up. Then the machine tells me to breathe and another little cartoon lights up with the man letting his breath out.
7) Back in I go for another round. The nurse said that the machine takes several hundred pictures while it moves me in and out. These are highly sophisticated x-rays that slice me up into thin little pieces like a deli ham.
8) Now the contrast dye goes in. They warned me that I would feel flushed for a few minutes. Then I would feel the dye going through my body all the way down to my bladder. They were right. But it passed quickly. No big deal.
9) That's it.  Done. Now we just have to wait for the results.
One more thing. Drink lots of water to flush all that stuff out of my system.
