An Appointment With Some Radiologists At The Hospital.

Went to the hospital for having an X-ray this early morning.  My mother drove me there.  It's nearby in my hometown.  5 minutes to get there.  I had on time.  I waited in the lobby of lab/radiology department until a radiologist called my name.  First, a radiologist wanted to ask me personally like my last name and birth date then she put me up on the table for taking a picture of my chest and bowel.  Afterwards, another radiologist/student, a male who looks like a Spanish, wanted me to drink the first of 2 special liquids right away.  But it tastes yucky!  I drank slowly, sip by sip.  It took me to drink for almost an hour cuz I drank too slow and felt my tongue uncomfortable.  Then the 2nd one repeatly.  Ugh!  At about almost done, I went back to do more picture of my chest bowel so the male radiologist/student wanted to make sure an X-ray picture looks good.  As I was figured out what the radiologist is doing, he noticed my intestines are not full completely yet but I think it looks about halfway.  I saw an X-ray picture of my chest and bowel on the computer.  And the mental screws inside both of my hip bones that I had a surgery when I was kid, too.  It's a long story.  Whoa, I could see white spots included my stomach inside my belly clearly.  I noticed the white liquid flowing downward from my stomach as it travels to my bowel.  Then the other female radiologist wanted me to drink the 3rd one.  I thought I finished drinking the last 2nd one.  I felt I am tired of drinking a weird liquid and I nearly vomited but it was just small.  Then she went to talk with my gas doctor on the phone.  Finally, that female radiologist wanted me to go to another X-ray room.  I stopped drinking halfway.  Thank God.  I hate it!  In another X-ray room, it looks different.  I saw a video of my chest and bowel in the computer.  It was an amazing by what I saw.  I could see my bowel is moving inside.  Wow!  But it looks weird.  I have never seen like that before.  The female radiologist put a thing on my belly and was looking at where the small bowel is located on the video.  She made a black circle on that spot where I have a problem with.  Also, I could see a mental nail inside my right hip bone.  At last, I am done with X-ray pictures.  Whew!  I went home afterwards.  I had to eat late breakfast right away.  I was relieved as I was eating 2 croissants and drinking my favorite coffee.  I am still drinking water to get rid of white liquid.
