Sandy, does kennel mean crate? When I was afraid of freaking out in the rad. tube, after the first episode, I started taking a half of a tylenol PM. Maybe you could have a couple on hand, just in case, for the way back.
The problem with the pills was that they were going 'down the wrong pipe' and coming back up. I googled a little and realized I've been kind of dealing with this for months with my swallowing issues, the exercises, all that. I am breaking them in half, though, because they are really big.
Today I did the Denise Austin one again. Of course, if I would see a little muscle tone emerging, it would make me so much more inclined to work out, but with the weights, I am afraid of pulling the muscles by the feeding tube. I'm sure it's fine, but there is a gross-out factor involved, too.
Enjoy your day. Hope you didn't get those kids in any trouble, Karla!
