CT scan pix

I had to have my second CT scan on Friday.  I get CT scans every 3 months, and MRIs of my brain every 6 months.  I have do the CT scan “with contrast” which means I have to drink this nasty glue-like “smoothie” that tastes awful, and feels pretty bad.  Totally blows out my G.I. system.

The tech who does the CT scans has given me two of the best IVs.  The first time, I didn’t even feel it.  This time, I barely felt it.  He cuts off the finger of his glove so he can feel the vein better.  The first time he did it in a really dramatic/showy way, putting the glove in his mouth, and biting down on it, stretching it out, and snipping it. This time, he does it a little bit more practically, but still fun and cool.  I feel like I wrote about this before…
