Click... Check... Click!

I wasn't planning on posting an entry today... even though I had a PET and CT yesterday, I won't get the results back till next week.  So I don't have much to report.  Yesterday was a pretty average scan day... no carbs after noon the day before (which makes me realize how much I LOVE carbs) and of course fasting after midnight.  Mental note - try to schedule an earlier scan next time.  My appointment was at 11:45... 3 hrs later I was starving.  The nurse offered me juice and crackers because some people feel "weak" and "unstable" after going so long w/out eating... I told her that wasn't a problem.  Crankiness is my main side effect of not eating.  Nothing Amaya's half off appetizers can't cure!!  Mmmmmm, mexican food!

Other than that, I thought I'd share the following conversation w/ the Tech who was administering my CT Scan...

Tech:  Okay, I'm going to run through some things to make sure nothing has changed since your last CT.

Me:  Sounds good.

Tech:  I see you have no history of...
  • Diabetes (check)
  • High blood pressure (check)
  • Heart disease (check)
  • Hypertension (check)
  • Blah (check)
  • Blah Blah (check)
  • Blah Blah Blah (check)
Me:  That's correct

Tech:  Okay, you seem to be pretty healthy

(awkward silence)

(crickets chirping)

Tech:  Well... (long pause)... except...

Me:  Right, except the cancer!

Tech:  Right

(awkward silence)

(crickets chirping)

  • Cancer (Click, Check, Click)
Me thinking:  That was a bad check wasn't it?!?

Alrighty then!  Glad we got that established!
