Friday- PET  Scan  Day

Went to Texas Oncology on Mopac for the PET scan my oncologist ordered to have as a baseline before starting treatment Tuesday.  Have to say, I was a bit uncomfortable as the tech lead me to a trailer /travel clinic out back where we stepped into a platform that took us up a level to enter.  Paul could not go with me on account of the lack of space inside.  It didn't take long before I felt comfortable and things got under way.  First an injection of a radioactive fluid that has to do it's thing for about 45 minutes. Apparently it makes your insides glow.   Then the scanner slides you in and out for about 25 minutes.  Total time was a couple of hours.  Future PET scans will he at the Round Rock location where I have everything else. :)   I was starving at this point since I couldn't have anything to eat all day.  Paul suggested Chuy's and I thought, sure,why not.  Nobody said my favorite Tex Mex was off limits.  It was yummy.

    I'd like to give a huge shout out to my Fern Bluff family, especially my team and to my son, Alex for getting my classroom moved to my new location on Wednesday.   Thanks guys, you ROCK!    No worries,  still going to teach First grade, just from a different classroom.

    Thanks to those who already signed up on the care calendar.  Looking forward to not just the yummy meals, but visiting with some of my favorite peeps.

No appointments for 3 days!:)  TGIF!

Hugs,
Cindy
