Oh those suck, majorly.
You wanna pee so bad.....and...................nope, sorry, ma'am, can't.

And for those of us who drink a lot of water (anyway) and pee a lot (see previous reference to drinking a lot of water), this whole "having to hold a full bladder" thing is quite the challenge.

I did it, make it through, but nothing took my mind off the fact,....I gotta pee! I gotta pee! NOW!

Well good luck 3, keep us posted!

[threenorns]

no, no, no - that's not the worst part!

the WORST part is they hand you a teeny little dixie cup and say "empty this twice"!!!! i always tell them "get it while you can cause once the gates are open, the horses are LEAVING".

LOL, that's good!

You make me feel like I've missed out on so many exciting medical experiences. I may have racked up a few on the other side of the gate, but, gosh, that's one I've yet to encounter. Give me time though,.....I have no doubt that, too, will come up in my future!

When and if they mention cat scan, you should be warned that in the waiting room they make you drink 32 oz of beruim which taste like lemonade Crystal Light with about 200 packets of Sweet n Low. Yeah that was bad enough but when I actually went in to the cat scan room a lady was there with 16 oz of a milky substance. I said what's this and she said it taste like coconut smell for yourself. Sure enough it smelled like coconut so I took my first swig and it was the consistance of warm loogies (sp) I handed the cup back to her and said no more thanks. She said I would have to drink it all for the procedure. I said well then see ya when I see ya. Needless to say we did it anyway.

I was under for my cystoscopy. It was just unconfortable when I peed later on that day.

you're lucky - the barium they use here tastes EXACTLY like milk of magnesia. then there's these crystals they add water to and you have to hold your nose and slug it all down - that tastes like lemon pop - and it blows up your gut and *you're not allowed to burp*. it actually hurts.

I pissed blood about 6 months ago after a most painful knee to the groin from behind from my sister. The first time I havge ever passed out too. It went away in a week (I did see a doc)
