I'm radioactive again today, because it was time for another bone scan. I also had a CT scan. It was pretty much an all day process. I had to drink my first barium breakfast shake at 7:30, in preparation for my CT scan at 9. I showered, dressed, and went to the hospital. CT scans are only 5-10 minutes long, but between getting my port accessed, getting injected with radioactive isotope for my bone scan, drinking barium breakfast #2, and getting my port de-accessed, I spent 2.5 hours in the nuclear medicine department. Less than an hour later, I was back for the bone scan. I had just enough time to get a Coke & a pack of crackers, before I had to make my way back to Nuclear Medicine for my bone scan.
By that time, I was sleepy, mainly because I had no proper breakfast, a miserly lunch, & unmedicated narcolepsy. I couldn't take my normal regiment of eleventy pills as usual, because no breakfast.
Y'all, I woke myself up snoring on the table during my bone scan. Several times.
Then I went home, and napped there for an hour. I could probably do another hour nap now, without a problem.
Now, I wait for results of my scans.
Until next time...
