Bone Scan...

Yippee...it's done!! I tried to not freak myself out too much, but knowing that I've had two of these before, I was not very excited about going in for the Bone Scan this morning. I knew what to expect and so trying to put it out of my mind was the biggest challenge. I got there at 7:30 for my injection and the Technician was extremely patient, going over the entire procedure with me to refresh my memory. He wasn't sure if he would be doing my scan or not, but he wished me well afterwards. When I got home I was instructed by Dr. Hui to take 2 Valium + 2 Hydrocodone (for the pain) to prepare for the scan. Other than that, all I had to do was drink 2-3 glasses of water and return at 10:30. Well, 10:30 came sooner than I expected and we were already back at Kaiser. I was excited to see that the same Technician was going to be doing my scan and that already put me at ease a little bit. He was so thorough in going over everything that it truly got rid of a lot of my anxiety. He even put a total of 5 pillows underneath my knees, head and back to make it more comfortable. Between the medication and saying a few prayers, I managed to get through it without any problem at all :) I am so happy that it's done. I should know the results from both scans when I see Dr. Hui on Wednesday.

I have said from the start that I believe in the power of positive thinking. Well, I've also started to really believe in the power of prayer too. I know that there are many people out there praying for me and I want to thank you all SO very much, it helped me this morning and I continue to gain strength from it...please don't stop.

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
