Just got out of the scan. Boy did they NOT prepare me.
I walked in with my mom and my coffee and the woman at the desk goes that's water, right? I was like "um no" and she said oh no you were suppose to not have any sugar and were suppose to be fasting. I was dumbfounded and asked her why no one told me any of this and she said they "tried" calling me but no one answered. I almost slapped the woman. Apparently voicemail is an unheard of means of relaying information.
So the tech checked my blood sugar and said I could still go through with the scan. I thought it was going to be inject the stuff then scan then out. She informs me I'll be there at least two hours and here's the kicker- I'm not allowed to be around children because I'll be radioactive. I'm a preschool teacher and was suppose to be in at work.
Well once I handled my job and got injected and sat and got in for the scan half way through all the computers shut down and we have to start all over...
I'm glad it's over. Results on Thursday.
