Wow, wow Beth, just look at you, and I have only one thing to say...👋 Well, maybe one more thing to say... Now i remember I had a kidney transplant and they don't want to screw around with that.
And your right about drinking Cranberry juice and that is usually the only juice i drink, but ever so often i drink V-8 juice. I am diabetic so i try to use light cranberry juice.. Less sugar but not always depending on which brand i use. Read the labels on the side of the container but sometimes they are also full of cr=p (=a) 😀 18's Marty On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 7:15 PM, bkbarney via CMLHope < cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Dear Jeannie, > > I have had the contrast dye with an MRI on three occasions.I have had many > MRI"s without contrast.
