The Day I Swallowed a Camera

So today, I ate a camera. Like, literally swallowed a tiny robot pill that takes pictures of my insides every 15 seconds for 12 hours. Cute, right?
I had to wear this whole monitor setup like a science project gone wrong, couldn’t eat all day, and yesterday I wasn’t allowed to have any solid food, just water and clear liquids. So yes—I’ve been starving, cranky, and rocking a caffeine-deprivation headache from hell.
Oh, and I had to drink this salty nightmare potion that I’m pretty sure was brewed in Satan’s hot tub.
Good news: I just passed the little guy, which means I can finally take off this gear and eat actual food. Real food.
Here’s hoping it caught something useful, because I’ve been feeling awful for way too long. Fingers crossed my intestines put on a good show.
