CAT scan ... nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, CAT scan ..... (think Batman TV show theme song)!!!! I know, I'm dating myself.
I arrived at Cooper in Voorhees for my CT scan at noon. They promptly gave me the "yummy" iced tea tasting contrast to drink. I had approximately 15 minutes to drink 2 styrofoam cups of the stuff. Thankfully, I brought a straw. For me, it makes the stuff go down a bit faster & easier. Then, I had to wait for my scheduled appointment time at 1:30 pm.
Shortly after 1:30pm, the technician/nurse came and got me. I changed into a beautiful hospital gown and then was escorted to the CT scan room. Now came the moment of truth, trying to find a vein for the IV. After tapping both elbows and both hands, she finally settled on my right wrist. She wasn't sure it would hold, but I was praying!!! And I knew many others were, too!!!!
After, the technician and the machine took the required pictures of my insides, the IV was removed and I was able to use the facilities. Then I got dressed and drove home. Once home, I feasted on toast, a banana, and yogurt, then took a nap. Exciting, I know!!!
I won't know the results until my next doctor/oncologist appointment on March 25th. I'm just praying that everything is still clear & cancer free!!!
Thanks again to all my prayer warriors. I'm blown away by your faithfulness and love for me!!!!
That's all for now. I'm heading to the creative studio to do some quilting!!!
