Plan for the overnight...

Looks like the hospital stay isn't going to be so restful.

Apparently, I need to make sure that my salivary glands and bladder don't get radiated as well as the thyroid cells.

I need to drink/go to the bathroom every 90 minutes. I've got an ample supply of sour candies to stimulate my salivary glands. Think lemon drops and sour patch kids (hey, did your salivary glands start acting up just at the thought of that?)

I'm bringing the alarm clock.  The risk is...if those glands/bladder don't get flushed regularly, the radioactivity will sit there and radiate them. Not a good situation.

Fortunately, I'll be picked up on Thurs AM and will go straight to bed.
