So today was my one-year scan. It went off without a hitch, i just had trouble with the not eating thing, man my stomach was making so much noise throughout the entire test today. Between that and not drinking coffee, wasn't a happy camper when I left...and being 90 degrees, ugh, I thought I lived in SoCal!
Anyways, I arrived at 9:15am, had to sign my life away. Wouldn't you think that if you had done this once, they could re-use all the forms I signed last time? I got an IV put in, they inject a sugar substance and then I have to relax for about 45 minutes. They came back with the contrast, today was Chocolate. It really wasn't that bad. I am not sure if it's that my senses aren't as heightened or that it had a slight chocolate taste?!?
I made the mistake of wearing shorts and a tank top to the scan, it is 90 degrees outside, but many was it cold in the scan room. I had a blanket on me, but my hands were completely numb when I was done. From there I went down for my CT scan and more IV iodine. What I find interesting is how "bigger" people get these things done, because my shoulders hardly find in the darn machine. I had to hold on to the sides of my shorts just to fit. I think they should reconsider the size of the tubes!
I was done about noon time and between all the junk I had in me, lack of fluids and food, I couldn't wait to lay down. I won't have the test results until the 14th, so the waiting game begins......
