She walks! She talks! She wants a nap!

hel_anaSo I'm home, I'm fed, I'm required to stay 1 meter away from other human beings until Sunday night.
But that's ok, because I can talk to people.
Today was pretty much as expected. For those what knows about such things, my dosage was 100mCi. Not a huge dose, because there were only two spots that glowed on the scan of the uptake from Wednesday.
I got there early (cool) and got in early (cooler). I have a prescription for going back on T4 on Sunday (coolest).
I drank the stuff, then between 11 and 4, I drank 4.5 litres of water. Ugh. That part was pretty awful.
Worst, though, was the lack of a time check -- I didn't bring a watch, and there was no clock in the room. So the only thing I had to go on was the mounting number of empty water bottles and my progress through the books I brought, which was variable. I didn't know how much longer I had to go at any point, and that deeply sucked.
However, it's over, and I'm left with slight soreness in my cheeks, an aversion to water, and a need to sleep. Oh, yes, and a deep seated desire to see my husband.
My dad's the coolest -- he met us at the door with food, and support, though of course no hug.
So i'm doing fairly well, though I really don't want to do this again.

Date: 2004-03-21 07:49 am (UTC)For me, it's conflicting with packing. But ::shrugs::.
Personally, I found that the conflict sort of just fell away in the overwhelming desire to beat this disease.

I'm sure we'll be able to hook up at *some* point to meet, however.

Date: 2004-03-20 07:03 am (UTC)the only thing left is the whole body scan on Tuesday.. at that point, I'm not exactly sure what they're going to tell me, but since it mostly involves a few hours laying still on a gamma gammer scanner, I think I can handle that. ;)
24 hours till bacon time.
