Practice makes "pee"urfect....

Okay, so you know I am going to have my ultrasound tomorrow....well, I have been practicing for it since Friday.  Now, you may be asking, how does one practice for an ultrasound.  Well, I have been drinking the prescribed 40 ounces of water and then making myself hold it for 2 hours.  I figure, I have to drink it an hour before the appointment, and then I will probably have to wait for a few minutes until they call me back.  I must say, I am getting pretty good at it.  It's takes at least an hour and 10 minutes before I feel the "urge".  I know, I probably sound crazy to most, but I have a phobia about ultrasounds.  It's kinda like a clostraphobic being told they have to have an enclosed MRI.  I panic, start sweating, and ultimately end up a basketcase.  So I figure if I practice, I will be more at ease when the time comes.  An unexpected plus from my obsession driven weekend....I've had a terrible head/chest cold, but as I've been drinking so many fluids, I am feeling MUCH better.  So, there you go.  Nutcase....heal thyself!!!!
