I had the scales on my face too! I was wondering why people were looking at me funny until I got home (but I think they were wearing off by then).

I am surprised they didn't have a knee pillow ready. They did when I went for the CT scan when I was being staged. But that was at an outpatient branch of the hospital that has a CT imaging center on the other end of town--they apparently aren't set up so kindly at radiation medicine in the hospital. At first when I asked for a pillow they said they didn't even have one but then someone went and found one. I could have used a warm blanket too--it was cold in there especially when the CT scanner was going (it must have a powerful fan).
