I must have a bulls eye on my back.. No really, I just can’t go for a routine test without something happening. This past Tuesday I had my normal 6 week CT Scan to see what was going on inside. As usual I had the first appointment 8AM. For some strange reason which no one still can explain they want you there an hour before. So we arrived at 6:45AM ready to go. At 7AM the tech called me in to get ready. So far so good. IV went in with no issues and I was really getting excited that maybe for once I would get in and out with no problem. With a CT Scan they put your through once to make sure you are lined up correctly and then start the contrast (which is a glucose solution that has a radioactive additive to allow them to see the pictures better) before taking the final scan. The tech came out and started the contrast and BOOM – either the tube was faulty and split or the connection was right because the next thing I know I have this sticky slimy goo all over my hair, face, arm, etc. The only thing I could do is start laughing while the tech was horrified that this happened and was running around getting me washcloths, etc to get the mess cleaned up. Bottom line by the time everything was fixed and reset it was an hour later. So much for thinking it was going to be an uneventful morning!
Good news is that the test results came back showing no change. Although I want to her the word “shrunk”, stable is good. No complaints here. Next test September 4.
Until next time……
Keep on Dancin’
