I had my bone scan today which consisted of a radioactive dye being injected into a vein. I was then able to leave the hospital after being instructed to "drink and pee a lot" from then until my actual test 3 hours later. So I went to Chapters, did some Christmas shopping and picked up my friend Dawn from work (she took her lunch to come back with me).
The scan was not a big deal. I was put on a table and told to lie down. She strapped me down and the bed moved into the machine. As the test started the bed very slowly moved out of the machine while it scanned my whole body showing all my bones. They did a couple more routine pictures and I was done within the half hour. The girl was really nice who did the test and explained everything to me.
As I was leaving the area I couldn't help but see a little baby put out having a scan done. The baby's mom looked so worried and sad. I couldn't help but think of being right there with Sam at Sick Kids last year while his little body was being scanned. I felt so sorry for the mom and baby and hope that it's nothing serious.
So one routine test down and next week I have a CT which is a bit more involved. I was happy to be home tonight with my boys and Kurt. Kurt ended up taking Jack skating at City Hall. Jack has been begging to go. It was pouring rain and the zambonie driver told Jack the rink was closed due to the rain. Jack cried and told him "but I just wanted to go skating Sir". The man let them skate for a few minutes. So Kurt and Jack had the rink to themselves and skated together in the rain. Sam and I stayed home and had a bath and snuggles. Jack was so proud of himself when he came home. That's what life is all about!!!
