This morning, I had my annual CT Scan. This time, they just did my trunk - shoulders through hips and pelvis. I had to be there bright and early, fasting so I could drink my contrast. I got a nice leisurely 1.5 hours to drink it and wait for it to process before I was called back to the room.
The actual CT Scan as pretty quick. As always, they are nice and try pretty hard to keep you as comfortable as possible. The actual scan was only about 5 minutes. I got the lovely heat producing iodine. Just love that.
John Hopkins wanted a copy of my slides so I mentioned it to the technician. I waited about 10 minutes and was presented a very pretty CD of my scan slides. How efficient is that?? I am pretty impressed!
I stopped and got the car washed and went to the grocery store on my way home. Got me some kibbles when I got home and dialed up my results. Much to my surprise, they were already read and posted on the website! I was done at 9:30 and by 11:45, the results are done. That is just way efficient.
From my non-medical knowledge, it appears my lymph nodes in my lower abdomen are larger than normal but have not grown in the last year which is good. I am surprised to read I have an ovarian cyst. I've had one before and had it removed. That was many moons ago. I'll have to talk to Dr. L about that as I believe things like that are the devil's playground and probably should be addressed.
I won't get ahead of myself. I see Dr. L next Wednesday for the official opinion.
This weekend, the aunties and Mom are coming up for a visit. I've been busy getting ready to have them all stay here while they visit and help Mars and John. I am excited to see everyone! It is a beautiful Fall weekend!
Have a great one!
