In prep for my HIDA scan tomorrow, I need to fast from midnight until after the test.
Only problem is, the fasting is now giving me a gallbladder attack, and I can't do a damn thing about it. =\ So now I have to suffer through the pain/nausea without painkillers or antiacids.
And Gallbladder attacks hurt 500% worst than any sort of menstral cramps I've ever had. Including the ones that would double me over in middle school so I'd have to head home. Ow. Ow. Owwwww.
Worst part is that I'd usually be able to just vomit and feel better afterwards, but with nothing in my stomach, that won't happen OR help. Auuuugh.
... On the bright side, I'll have all the right symptoms when I go in for testing tomorrow. *Thuds.* On the not so bright side, though, I doubt I'll get much sleep at all.
Ugh. Will update on how the test goes after I get back from it.
Edit as of 8:08 AM: Well, finally managed to get to sleep on the downstairs couch at about 3:30 AM. Except now I'm partially dehydrated from the fasting--I dehydrate FAST. Still hurt, but it's more of a dull pain now. *Sigh* At least my muscles have mostly relaxed... Dizzy now, though, like I had been off and on yesterday (but yesterday it was for different reasons)--damn low blood sugar.
Oh well. At least my brother's cute turtle is up and being cute?
