Thursday morning

Tomorrow morning (today, for you) I'm going to get a CT scan. I'll have to drink some horrible barium stuff, but I'm taking gum with me (secret weapon!) to chew while I drink. Maybe that'll help? Anyhoo, then I have to go to lunch with the owner of the newspaper, with whom i once played lawn chess. (He won.) I'll blog in the afternoon. Stay safe till then!

My mom just had some tests where she had to drink some lovely stuff. They gave her a straw and told her to drink it as fast as she could. The straw keeps the flavor at the back of your mouth-- less taste buds to taste the yummy flavor. Try and bring a straw or two in case they don't offer them at your CT place.

Good Luck
