hel_anaI just got off the phone with the nuc med doctor.
Apparently the good wishes of my Irish friends have worked magic, and I've got a date of March 17th to go in and have the tracer dose. At that point, we'll also do other bloodwork.
I'll go back on the 19th to take a big dose. I'll stay there the whole day, and then go home in the late afternoon. I don't have to be in isolation, since I have a room I can stay in and a separate bathroom.
I'll go back, probably on the following Tuesday, for a whole body scan, and a discussion of what they find in that scan.
The upshot is that I'll be done this stage of the process by March 23. I can go to the wedding on the 27th, and I can leave anytime after that.

how do you get home on the 19th if you're not supposed to be around other people?? will you be OK to drive yourself?
you'll have to keep me posted on the now-formulating departure schedules.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-06 01:16 pm (UTC)I cannot drive after about March 1st. Hence, I'm going to need someone who can take me to Winter War.
Departure schedule entirely depends on who is driving me. I probably won't be able to do any driving until at least the second week of April. (Basically, being severly hypo is much like being drunk -- slow reflexes and all.)
Since the only other person I know is in a possible position to take the trip has said no, unless Ross can fly up, I may have to wait until I can actually drive myself, and go down by myself. In an ideal world, I'd leave on March 29th, which is the day after Mom's birthday.
