Update....WOOT!!!

Well, on Monday morning I got my approval!! :) YAYYYYY!!!!!

Nothing like rushing! I got approved yesterday and picked up my prescriptions for the testing at the center. I called the number and wanted to schedule my Upper GI, the lady said today at 8 would be good. Worked for me, I just skipped the back to school breakfast at the middle school.
So I starve myself through the night and show up bright and early...7:30. My mom went with me for moral support, lol! We get registered and they take me down to get changed into the FABULOUS gown and robe. LOL A male nurse comes back and takes me with him, as he sets me up for my chest x-ray, he asks some questions...specifically when my last menstral cycle was. Since I'm irregular, I never memorize the dates. So I told him the middle of last month. Then I hear a lady, say something....then he told me to turn around and that we'd have to do a pregnancy test. LOL Good grief, so I go get that blood drawn, come back and ask if I can have the rest of my prescription to go get it filled. I go back and get STUCK again with the needle for the other blood work, take a urine sample, and then off for my EKG. Piece of cake....but now it's time to get back to work...so I undress and go to work.
Lunch hour comes...and I rush off back to the hospital. They take me within 10 minutes of being there....and the chest x-ray was first. Another piece of cake...mind you, by this time I was STARVING!!!! The Barium was actually making my mouth water...in a good way! LOL I'm sick...this I know! So...I swallow these "Crystal" things first, and chase them with a 1/2 shot of water...LOL They made my airway bigger and felt like I had to let out a HUGE ASS burp...LOL But I had to hold it in as I drank the barium....drank more barium...and then some more. OMG....my tummy was full. Then the doctor made me lay on the table....and made me rotate in a circle....the shit was swishin' everywhere....OMG. Then he took 4039228 photos and made me move every which way. I could not wait to get out of there. About 30 minutes later and I was done and on my way back to work (school.) I didn't get anything to eat til almost 5 tonight....LOL
Now...I just wait for my doctor's appointment on September 4th! Woot!!
