Okay I survived the CAT scan. Doesn't take long, first a weigh-in and blood pressure and blood test. Then lay on a tray, get an IV of IVP (contains iodine which I am allergic to). Then hold your breath while the tray slowly slides you into and out of a donut shaped thingy, with your arms over your head. 30 seconds is the longest time for holding your breath. There is a couple of silly faces that show you when to hold your breath as well as a voice that tells you, and there is a countdown on a digital readout above your head.
Now I need a nap as I am crashing from the hepped up part yesterday.
All done till Thursday when I get the PET scan. Need to drink 48 ounces of water tomorrow and not do anything strenuous - I can handle that prep.
I voted on the way back from the doctor's office. Now I need to go to the library which has shortened hours because of the budget crunch. I voted for a new tax to pay for the library. The politicians like to cut the things most visible to the public. They certainly would never cut their own salaries. Try picturing a table surrounded by elected officials voting to cut their own salaries. Never happen.
Later
