At ten after 8 this morning, I swallowed this...
Sorry that it's blurry, but I took it with my phone and my hands were shaking. I was on a clear liquid diet the day before to prepare for the test. That tends to make you a little shaky. :P
Here is the lovely harness that holds the recorder/receiver. It's heavier than it looks and not the least bit comfortable. I didn't sleep well last night and had planned on napping today. That's not going to happen.
There are also straps that go up over my shoulders. Basically I look like I'm ready to lift heavy objects at Home Depot.
Only, I'm not supposed to do anything of the sort until they remove all this stuff. No lifting, exercising, or sweating (there are electronic leads attached to various spots on my body). I also can't go into any place that has any sort of electronic theft protection, like Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, or most libraries. They also suggested that I not go inside any banks. Something about it looking like a bomb. Lovely. I think I'll just stay home until time to get this darn thing off.
BTW, driving wasn't all that fun either. Seatbelt + steering wheel + harness = uncomfortable.
Right now I'm counting down until noon when I can eat & drink again. Then I'll be counting down to 4pm when this sucker comes off.
When this is all over, I'll have an 8 hour movie of my small intestine. I'm thinking YouTube. What do you think? :P

Definitely YouTube. ;-) LOL... hey, after 8 hours you deserve something out of the deal. :-)
So will you name this attachment? Mom said it doesn't look near as big as Hoss! As for the YouTube thing, ummmm gross and it will probably get more hits than you would think because people are just plain weird. Still praying that find something to help you. Anemia sucks!
I think 8 hours might be a bit long for YouTube :P but I agree with T, bet it would get a lot of hits lol.
Oh, definitely post some of the video. Think of the snazzy soundtrack you can come up with for it. Tee hee...
So, what was the solid meal you ate?
Whoa, trippy!
That is totally amazing!! I've heard of it but didn't know they strapped all that stuff on ya. You poor thing.
Hope everything turned out ok. You must be so tired. Sending prayers.
Thank you so much for displaying the BlogBlast For Peace countdown in your sidebar. I will add your name to my sidebar in the list of others who have done the same. See you on November 6th!
Peace,
Mimi
I had never heard of the capsule technology. Neat stuff!
