Once I was called ,I went outside to the mobile unit. (When I received the confirmation call they told me to dress warmly). I understand now. It was COLD in there. First they had to test my blood sugar which was 96, YEAH!!!!. They then put in an I.V. needle and injected radioactive sugar water (basically) and then flushed it with a saline solution.) I then had to sit and basically not move for 45 minutes. I couldn't even read a book. I was then moved inside to sit for another 15 minutes. The scan lasted about 1/2 hour with me moving through the "donut" a bit at a time. I thought I would have claustrophobic issues but that was not the case. It was a non-event, as far as having the test done. I was VERY HAPPY to get back to the car and BLAST the heat.
Came home and ate a bowl of cereal since I'd had nothing to eat since the "lovely" fish dinner I had last night.
Will get the results of the scan next Friday when I got to see my friendly oncologist.
Didn't do much of anything important the rest of the day. I'm really close to finishing the sweater for the Olympic project. I was running out of yarn so I had to run down to the shop to buy another skein. I then came home and knitted some and read some. Also had to take a 15 minute power nap as I tried again to stay up and watch the Olympics and was up this morning at 6:00.
