Another Needle Filled Day

[tohma2004]

First: Happy Birthday Elke!
Thanks again for walking the relay with me ^^

Second: PET Scan today
Oh boy..talk about eventful. So I've been on this low carb diet since Saturday in prep for it. Apparently normal blood sugar levels are between 70-100. When they tested my blood today I was at 60. That should have been the first clue that things were going to be interesting...

So he injects me with the radioactive sugar and removes the needle from my hand (yeah we all know how I feel about that...) Anyway, last time I got light headed for a few minutes which is apparently not uncommon. Well that happened again this time..only it didn't stop at being light headed. My whole body went week and before I knew it I passed out...or I think I did. I could vaguely hear what was going on, but I couldn't move and I couldn't control my breathing which was loud and fast. I could hear it but couldn't do anything about it. The next thing I know a doctor is at my side and moving my shoulder and positioning my arms so they can hook me up to a blood preasure machine.

He asks me if I can hear him and I finally am able to open my eyes and respond. Apparently I was dehydrated and putting that with the low blood sugar and everything else made me pass out from the sugar. I had to chew on a sugar pill and two nurses got called in to hook me up to an IV. They kept monitoring my blood preasure and heart rate (both of which are really low normally but the doctor didn't know that so it concerned him until we told him that it was always under 100). Then I drank the two cups of MRI fluid stuff and when the IV was empty I was finally able to have my scan.

Don't know the results but I'm pretty confident that it will be clean. Doctor's appointment on Thursday to get the port flushed and find out the results I guess.

Oh and then we went to Olive Garden and I was looking over some images for a commission that I had to buy fabric for..and our waiter totally knew about anime o_o Apparently he had been Rock Lee for Halloween. XD

So yeah..exciting day o_o

EDIT: OH yeah, FMA contest at ACP. Vote for me XD!! Or Tess or Siev XD Yeah..why am I always in the contests that everyone I know is in? ^^;;

Oh man, what a rough experience. =/ I'll keep my fingers crossed for you on Thursday!

I hate it when I know 9487694650 people in these cosplay contests. I have such a hard time choosing which costume I should vote for, that I usually end up not voting at all. XD Indecision to the point of inaction! Woo!

Thanks for the b-day wishes ^_^

Man, I'm sorry you had a tough go of your last test. Hopefully good news will await, though. ^__^

Wow, sounds like the low carb thing is not for you ^_- Sorry you had to endure needles yet again! Oughtta be an old pro at them by now, eh? Also, nice cosplay of Ed! Seems you've worn him quite often. Is he a favorite standby now?

Since Laura and them made FMA costumes he will probably get worn more now. Which is good since he's been in the closet for like 2 years without being worn XD! I kinda put him away because there was just so many Eds running around. Now it seems to have died down a little so pulling him out once in awhile is better. Of course with the new series out it might just explode again.
