Radioactive

I just got back from my CAT scan and they made me drink a bunch of nasty tasting stuff until I barfed up some, then had to drink some more to replace the barfed up part. Ick.

Then I was injected with the contrast dye.

When I was at Beloit I found out by a totally freak paralysis incident that I was allergic to CT dye. So this time I was prepared with this knowledge to combat the evil hives that resulted afterward. I took the Prednisone and the Q-Dryl to prevent the itchy bumps. But, alas, I still have hives, not as bad as before, but still there. AND I am also working on my hopefully last stomach full of vomit from the liquid nastiness they had me chug.

Will write more about details later, but right now, one more trip to the toilet and some shut eye.

Hey Lady! We're thinking of you here in the deep south, missing you too! Hope you're feeling better and soon, I remember our late night jaunts to the Beloit emergency room (good times). Hopefully I can get something to you in the mail to make you feel better. . .
