tohma2004Today was my PET scan. You would think that after seven months I would be used to the whole needle thing...yeah, no so much.
I had my port all numbed up and ready to go..only to find out they had to stick me in my hand. -_-' I was okay..I was shaking a little when he put it in and drew the blood. But the worst part was taking it out. She took it out and I got light headed and felt sick. They had me lean back and lay down for a few minutes.
The needle was in for all of about 15 minutes. All they had to do was take my blood to make sure my sugar levels were where they needed them, and to inject the radioactive sugar. Then they removed it and I had to sit there for an hour, drinking the ever so yummy Lemonade drink of death.
Then they came in and took me to the PET scanner. I was strapped down on a table and sent through the machine for about 20 minutes. And that was that. I was sent on my way. I won't know the results until probably Friday.
Then we went out and had lunch with Rayvah. We sat around O'Charleys for 3 1/2 hours talking XD Then we went over and had ice cream and Cold Stone for another hour. Fun times ^^
And that was my day. Came home and did some sewing and watched tv.
