I flew back from the east coast last night landing at about 8 pm PST, so I was beat. I tried to reschedule my CT scan today, but wasn't able to. I woke up at 6 am to drink one bottle of contrast....
I wouldn't say it tastes bad, but it certainly doesn't taste good. I try to just chug it, but my body starts to reject it...so it's a slow process. I laid down for the next hour, tried to go back to sleep, but that wasn't possible. I had been fasting as well so all I could hear was my stomach turning over and over. At 7:30 I started drinking the second bottle. The scan went off without a hitch at about 8:30am. I was also injected with some iodine as well. I was told to go home and drink a lot of water, I need to flush out my body. I should have the test results back early next week.
I must say, I am more tired then I have been in a long time. I dove right back into work and this last trip threw me way off. I think it's the time change and the inability to go to sleep at a normal hour. I will be home for a few days, so I am looking forward to getting some good rest. Brent and I are hiking on Saturday, so we will update that website as soon as we can. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do!! All I need is 50 of my friends to donate $32 and I have reached my fundraising goals AND you all will have a part in helping someone else make it through treatment. http://pages.teamintraining.org//ocie/CanyonS209/ehowarth
Please feel free to stay up to date on how our hikes are going so far....
