Thank you for all of the phonecalls, texts, and messages today. I appreciate every one of them and have tried to answer as many as possible. I arrived at Physician's East this morning at 0930. I drank two large cups of what tasted like Tang, had an iv put in (with one stick), and waited for about thirty minutes. I then had a CT of my head, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. I was finished at 10:45, and was allowed to go get some lunch. I hadn't eaten since about 9pm last night, so the countrystyle steak at K&W tasted much better than usual today! I had to be back by noon to get my bone scan. I arrived at 11:45, and they were ready for me. The bone scan wasn't bad either, but by the time I was able to get up, I was experiencing right much lower back pain. When I went to leave, I told the tech, "This is when you tell me you didn't see anything suspicious." Of course she gave me the line about not being able to give me my results. Before I walked out though, she smiled and said, "I'll tell you this much. If I see anything suspicious, I'm supposed to take more pictures and get a better look. I didn't take any extra pictures of you."

I was told that Dr. Habal, my surgeon, would hopefully have the results in a couple of days. I'll give him until Friday afternoon, and if I haven't heard from him, I'll give his office a call.

Thank you so much for all of the support today. I definitely felt it. I will let you know as soon as I get the results. As of right now, I do not have any more appointments before surgery on the 7th.
