Just back from having a bone scan. The prep time far exceeds the actual length of the process.
The process started with me arriving four hours before the scan so I could be injected with radioactive isotopes. Now I understand why the Chalk River reactor is so important. The isotopes have phosphorus tags which attracts them to bone. The scan picks up these signatures.
Unfortunately I have no super powers following this treatment.
Four hours later I had a head-to-toe scan which took all of 20 minutes.
The good news was Peg and Sam were at another nearby hospital and I was able to meet and have coffee with them. While we were there Rob ran into a friend of his. He was there because his wife just gave birth.
Headed to Rob's parents for the weekend; have to check to see how his dad is making out.
Unfortunately, no Internet access so this will be the only blog for a few days.
Have a great weekend. I hope that Rob's Dad is doing good. So happy you got to meet up with Peg and Sam... I asked her to pass on a hug from me.xo
ReplyDeleteSucks that you had no super powers...but curious about Rob's question...did you glow in the dark? Glad we could hook up today, even if our parting was a bit abrupt with us being called into Sam's appointment. Hope Rob's Dad is doing well. Mom is so "let her use whatever she needs" with regards to the wigs, as I knew she would be. Love ya kiddo!!
