CT Scan


I'm done with the scans. It wasn't a tube like I thought. It was a 6 foot donut that they slid me through many times. They also gave me a contrast solution though an IV. A computerized voice would tell me to hold my breath in 10 second intervals about 30 times.

After I was done they gave me the film and a CD. They then asked me to deliver the pics and the CD to Anastasia Shaver in Urology. They said that they wanted me to take this directly there and not to view them, that I wouldn't understand it anyway. I agreed. I then went straight to Kinkos and made a copy of the CD. I can't wait to go home and compare these pics to ones that are good and bad on the internet.

Anastasia thinks she will have the results from the radiologist within 24 hours and will call me when she has them. Dr. Brennan is on vacation this week. My surgery follow up appointment is Tuesday.

So I will wait and try to make sense of these pics on the internet in the meantime.


Back to work.

You are sooooooo funny. You always do what you are told. RIGHT??? I'm glad you took everything straight to the person they were suppose to go to without passing go. Of course you know you will go to jail for that. HA HA. Pretty soon you will be your own doctor.
Keep the faith and I know good news is soon on the way.

Is this going on your permanent record? I sure hope you don't have to stay after school! (This is what is meant by taking charge of your own healthcare!)
