On Monday, I had my CT Scan. It was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (I didn't even know that the radiology clinic would be open that late!). I was told to be there by 6:15 p.m. I left the house in plenty of time to make allowance for the evening commute traffic and I'm glad I did. I got to the clinic just before 6:00 p.m. and it took me about 20 minutes to fill out all the forms!
I was called in shortly after that, but, there was a long wait to be taken in for the scan. I had to have an IV inserted for a contrast dye for the scan; the scan itself took about 10-15 minutes. The most uncomfortable part for me was to keep both arms held above my head. For some odd reason, I just couldn't relax my shoulders. I left the clinic around 7:30 p.m. and got home just before 8:30 p.m.
Then, I took the trash cans out to the curb and checked the mail before I came inside.
I had been told not to eat anything four hours before the procedure. But, I wasn't hungry and couldn't really eat anything other than the last two manzano bananas. I didn't feel like eating after I came home, either, so I just had two scrambled eggs and the last homegrown plum for dinner and dessert.
I did a little bit of housework in the morning before I went for the scan; I just couldn't settle down to do anything much. And I felt quite worn out after I came home, so, I took it easy. I will have to double up and get a few things done on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, I have an appointment with the doctor to go over the scan results and I probably won't feel like doing anything much then, either!
On Monday, I was grateful for:
- A safe drive to the clinic and back
- Having access to diagnostic tests
- Health insurance
- The procedure went smoothly
- Prayers and well wishes from family and friends
Monday's joyful activity was relaxing!
No big plans for Tuesday. I've a list of small tasks to accomplish and I'll be happy if I can get through that list.
How was your Monday? What are your plans for Tuesday?
