CT Scan

This morning I am going for a "full body" CT Scan (less the head which was done previously). Last night at 10:00PM I had to drink this one quart bottle of "Banana Barium" or what they call "Contrast" to highlight my bones which is one thing they will be looking at very closely. I am just about ready to drink andother one quart bottle before going in to have the scan. Banana - ew! Couldn't they just give it to me plain or maybe another flavor. Actually, it tastes more like Double Bubble than banana and really wasn't too bad though it leaves a chalky coating in your mouth.

All-in-all, a painless experience. The Techs and Docs are looking to see if I have any suspicious shadows anywhere in my body (except my legs, arms and head) that may or may not be cancer. Of course, I am hoping for the best and it is really just one more test for me as I click off the tests and days until my reconstruction surgery.
