i decided i'd start a series of photos of things i won't miss about cancer. :) when i'm living through some of my least favorite moments at least it will give me a reason to smile and snap a photo, right?
1. drinking this
my propensity for drinking large volumes of liquid came in handy when facing this rival. the technician advised that he'd allow me 45 minutes to drink each of two required bottles. perhaps we each have our own philosophy on consuming gross things, but i channelled my inner college freshman and opted for the quick chug. the look of horror on his face when he saw how quickly i polished off two bottles of barium cocktail truly indicates how nasty this stuff is. i heard that some hospitals offer this in flavors... something to consider when selecting a health care provider!
2. hieroglyphics... on me
the thoracic surgeon made these markings on my neck prior to my operation back in july. could this have been discernible to anyone?!

While I really hate that you have to drink that stuff, I seriously laughed out loud at the 'something to consider when choosing a healthcare provider' line... :) Love ya!
Ewww I had to drink that stuff once when I was having a test done for Chron's...it is nasty. To me it tasted like someone crushed up a whole bottle of tums in about 6 oz of water...yuck!! High five to chugging it that fast. I am super impressed :)
Love your analogy to your "freshman chugging". Just reminds me how young you really are to still remember your "chugging" days!!! lol
Seriously, so happy and proud of you, not that I had any doubt, of your conquering this disease. Keep up the GREAT work! :) Love ya
