Aren't they fun........., not!

I just had my 1st one on Tuesday. 1st time drinking telebrix and you have to drink a lot of it, and then that dye, wow it burns through you veins. The warmth was so bizarre I felt as if I had peed myself, after you've drank so much fluid, and you feel this incredible warmth, you really aren't sure until it's over. It wasn't anything I would have expected. I didn't google all about it before I had it done, probably a good thing, I don't think that would have made me feel any better about it. I get to have another one in a few weeks, after my surgery. :blink:

Ha! I would have warned you about the feeling of urination had I known you were having one. That was awful. I laid there totally embarrassed thinking I had urinated and you can't really check until you get off the table and out of the room.

Once you do know about that, it isn't as bad.

I'm surprised they didn't warn you that you would have that feeling - I was both times. I expected it but still it is such an odd feeling.
