!!Beware - radiation!!

I am having a rather radioactive week. 
I am having scans to check nothing untoward is happening anywhere else in my body.  I have today had a body scan and on Thursday I will be having a bone scan.  To ensure that the radiographers can see everything these scans involve various dyes and radioactive isotopes being ingested or injected.  Today's scan involved drinking "orange flavoured" dye at 10 o'clock last night and 6.15 this morning. 
Now, this in itself does not sound too bad.  What you have to bear in mind though is the instructions that come with the dye.
Each drink contains 10ml of the dye.  This has to be diluted in 400mls of water.  Who in their right mind drinks three quarters of a pint just before getting into bed? 
The other slightly worrying instruction is:  We strongly recommend that you add fruit squash to improve the taste.  That's not a good sign. 
So, I have been a good girl.  I had drink 1 at 10pm last night and thankfully made it through the night until the alarm went off at 6.15 this morning when I had drink 2 - another 400ml of squash.  My stomach was screaming out for a nice cuppa but I wasn't allowed any breakfast - thank goodness the scan was so early!!!
Now.  I am not saying the drinks were the most delicious beverage I have ever drunk - in my mind that is the Long Island Iced Tea I drank sitting in a small bar in Manly - but it wasn't that bad.  It may have been if I had unpinched my nose but I'm not that daft.
In addition to the drinks, I had the joy of a pump of drugs attached to me.  Not so bad if you ignore the warm sensation in the groin that honestly make you feel like you have lost control of your body and inadvertently peed whilst suffering a blip in concentration.  I had been warned about this by several people and had even been to the loo just before lying on the scanner bed - this did not stop me clenching hard when the warm sensation started!
So.  One down.  One to go. 
Got to go.  Bisto has just leapt into the paddling pool!
