It's not as bad as it looks.  It's just a big donut!


I had the cat scan today and all went very well, fast and easy.  I laid on the table and under me was some type of moldable mat.  The Dr. came in and drew all around the area for radiation with a regular marker.  Then the technician took little wires (about the size of twisty ties) and taped them on the markings and took a picture.  I told him not to put it on facebook, he promised he wouldn't.  Then he placed tattoo's in 5 different places with a needle, very sharp, painful needle.  I did not like that needle.  He did this without warning, if I knew what was coming It would have been better.  He needs to be educated, in that area.  He was very nice and said he will be celebrating his 10th yr. class reunion next week.  Then he did the scan, which was very short.  I won't start radiation for another week or so, so they have time to do all the figuring and everything I don't understand, at all, and that is just fine with me.  So is said, one gets tired later into the radiation but not always.  It really is very interesting.  Being a lab tech., of some sort, seems like it would be fun.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  Everyone has a photographic memory.  Some, like me, just don't have any film.
