On the "day of atonement" I spent the majority of the day in CT and MRI machines! It sounds eerie and generally unappealing, but I had the foresight to bring entertainment: adavan and stand up comedy CDs. Whereas during my last set of scans I spent my time counting sheep and singing songs to myself, this time I listened to Chris Rock, Dane Cook and Dennis Leary, trying my hardest to suppress laughter so that I didn't move my body.Unfortunately they only scheduled me for five hours of scans instead of the required eight hours of scans so I have to return on Monday before visiting with my oncology team to get an MRI of my brain and C-spine. We're very anxious to find out the results of the scans, and I will post an update on Monday evening.
The picture above is one of me drinking Mochaccino flavored contrast for the CT Scan. I think I'll stick with Starbuck's version.
mmmmmm sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteJeff, you've proven once again that you are a very strong person...staying motionless while listening to Chris Rock...that is impressive!
ReplyDeletecrossing my fingers jaguar!
ReplyDeleteAt least you got Mocachino, I had Vanilla for my CT this week. Cooling it down helped. We won't talk about the post contrast bathroom runs. They're great between patients.....
ReplyDeleteIf you want me to sit outside the bathroom and tell you jokes, i will.
ReplyDeleteMocaccino contrast? If that doesn't make you poo, I don't know what will! Hoping for all the best with your latest round of tests!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're waiting for your next post and are thinking of you. I hope it's going ok this week.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff. Can't wait to see you soon! Carlos and I are thing of you.
ReplyDeleteJeff,
ReplyDeleteI hope things are going well for you this week. I didn't know you had a blog so you may hear from me from time to time. I am hopeful the GuyerLIF will start getting into full swing at NASS. Sorry I couldn't make it to Mass for the surprise. Stay strong partner.
All the best,
Bill Del Russo
