Smooooth

The doctors want to take a look at my innerds. Sorry, I skipped HS biology class (seriously) so that's about as technical as I can get. I guess the process requires me to drink some sort of radioactive chemical so the machines can do their thing. So, off to the hospital to get my 'prep packet' which includes a quart of something optimistically called an 'Apple Smoothie' - NOW! With More Barium Inside!

Okay, I made the last bit up.

But it does include the barium and it does claim to be an apple smoothie.

I asked the gal at the desk what it really tasted like and she claimed not to know. "How can you give this stuff out and not tried it yourself?" I exclaimed.

A nurse in the back looked up and said I should refrigerate it first. "Is it that bad?" I asked. Her reply was to simply nod and shudder.

Smoothie, my ass. I'll let you know.
