I have never considered myself an addict, I haven’t smoked in 50 years, I don’t drink excessively, have never used drugs other than those prescribed by my doctor. Nevertheless it seems I’m an addict.
This week I spent two days at the hospital for nuclear stress test., On Tuesday they gave me a radioactive injection followed by Xrays. Wednesday I was given a second injection, followed by a treadmill breathing exercise, then more Xrays. I received the instructions for the tests the previous week and as of midnight Sunday I had to refrain from using coffee,tea,chocolate and anything else containing caffeine. On the Tuesday morning after the injection I was assured there were no side effects. However by the time I got home I felt ill, and that continued into Wednesday. I mentioned this at the Wednesday morning tests but to my surprise I was told I was suffering withdrawal from caffeine. On completion of the tests I headed to the coffee shop for a much needed fix!!!! I’m fine now but also aware I’m an addict, addicted to coffee. Its a good job its only coffee, I couldn’t afford anything more expensive. For the next two weeks I can’t cross the border into the US can fly, shouldn’t hang out with pregnant women or children, I’m still radioactive!!!!
God Bless and keep reading

RADIOACTIVE ……….I’ll bet you were shocked to find that you too are an addict. I have never smoked, I drink very occasionally for the past 20 years BUT I do enjoy my Coffee, java, Joe, whatever name one uses. So my friend I am glad your tests went well but sad that I too must now admit to being an addict……I guess this is a case of damned when you do and damned when you don’t. Take care of yourself.

Not to worry Robby, we can be addicts together. The house sale is moving forward and look good so far.
I refuse to be tested ^_^
