Fasting for a procedure: imma cuttabitch

Who schedules fasting procedures for 1:30 p.m.??

Stupid liver ultrasound.

The same moron that schedules my fasting bloodwork for 4pm.  Seriously I scheduled this 6 weeks out and that was the best you could do?  I'll take the 12 year old nurse that always finds a way to 1) blow my veins all over the office and 2) bruise my for 3 months, if I can get in before lunch.

I get you.

I'll tell you what I used to tell myself: 

You'll be high as a kite soon and it won't matter!

Oh I hate that! I usually have my fasting appointments in the morning, so I can't imagine how you're feeling. Can you at least drink water?

I know what you mean! I have to fast most of the day on Thursday for a procedure and I'm dreading it.

I'm going to use what Mary said to help me through it. I looove that feeling right before you slip under. Too bad I fall asleep so quickly though.

Can you find something to do that will keep you busy to keep your mind off of it?

That sucks.  It's crazy that they couldn't fit you in earlier in the day.

I'm not going under!

It's just an ultrasound of my liver.

Sigh. *goes to get 3rd bottle of water for the day*

And also!

Nothing tastes as good as that Jimmy John's sandwich that you inhale in the car on your way home from the doctor.

#12!

Has anyone else seen the Seinfeld episode where Elaine has to fast for 3 days? Yeah, that would be me.

I went for a blood draw today and after visiting the doctor and finally getting into the lab the nurse says "you fasted, right?" Well, good thing I didn't have time to eat this morning. Nobody tells me this sh!t.

Anyway, good luck at your ultra sound. Just try not to think about food!
