PET Scan

Started fasting at noon for tonight's PET Scan.  Could only drink water for 6 hours.  Arrived at 17:45 and finished at 20:15.  The first task was to put in an IV.  The first fellow tried twice with no luck.  Two strikes and you're out, so he called in another tech.  She found a vein in the side of my hand.  The needle was small, so it didn't hurt much at all.  I was then given the radioactive isotopes and had to rest in the dark for 45 minutes.  The scan took 24 minutes.   It was really hard to lie still as the tumours on my lower back started hurting - a lot!

Glad to get home.  Had grabbed takeout to break my fast.

Why do I have to keep listening to the Emery duo?   Self made celebrities.
