What a day! I went to Norfolk General hospital around 8:00 and checked in for my test today. They gave me some injection and told me it was be 2 hours before my test. I went to the cafeteria and passed the time with a peppermint latte and some mindless surfing on the computer.
The test was easy, just lie there and be still. The worst part is they put your legs and arms in restraints...I promised I would behave, but they did it anyway. I guess this is to prevent you from moving while the test is going on. Also, the machine comes so close to your face it almost touches it! So, if you are claustrophobic, then this IS NOT the test for you.
I waited until 12:15 until they called me back only to tell me that my bladder was in the way of the particular area they were trying to look at. Apparently I have some spot on my hip that they need to make sure isn't anything to be concerned about. So now I get to go back at 7am and take more pictures.
After the hospital I went straight to my radiation appointment. I can't stand when this disease takes up my whole day. It really sucks!
Thanks to Brian for helping me out and having a big smile on his face when I walked in the door totally frustrated. I could not do this without him :)
