Stomach, Friday

Yesterday the surgeon poked and prodded and said he was not convinced I had a hernia. A CT scan with oral contrast will occur on Tuesday.  The oral contrast is a barium solution that has a berry flavor.  In the interest of my health I'll drink it. But I won't like it.

This opens up all sorts of scary possibilities.  Is it wrong to hope I have a really bad case of gas?

On a better note, I'll be seeing the matinee showing of Les Miserables at the Kennedy Center tomorrow.

I was invited to a Saturday night party animal Halloween get together by one of my coworkers. Starts at 10pm!  The theme is cartoon characters from the 80s and 90s. I would be forced to go as The Lady Who Found Out About The Party Yesterday! Sorry, not only do I have a sick stomach and no suitable costume, but I need to be in bed by 10!
