For those of you who underwent medical tests, what did you have to do to prepare for them?
Every time I underwent ultrasound tests for either my bladder or my uterus, I had drink tons of water and hold in my pee. Today's test was no different, except for the excruciating TORTURE of not being able to go until the test was done! No amount of dry desert thoughts could quell the agonizing cries of my poor bladder! The exception was my first time, when the sonographer examined my kidneys.
Bloodwork was easier, though. All I had to do was fast for 12 hours.
My mom underwent a colonoscopy. She had to drink MoviPrep and had to go on a clear fluid diet for one day. My father had a CT scan for his aneurysm and an MRI and an angiogram. He was lucky in that he didn't have do any prep work.
What about you? What did you have to do to prepare for them?
