Bone Scan Complete
After spending four hours at the hospital, being stuck twice to get the dye in my veins, and a couple of very uncomfortable positions to lay in, the bone scan is complete. I entered Mercy Medical Center at 7:30 AM and arrived home at 11:35 AM. Three hours of that was spent reading Maggie Shane’s Blue Twilight and trying not to go insane from boredom and the constant need to pee. When you’re give radioactive dye, they like you to drink a lot and pee a lot to flush the excess dye from your system.
After I got home, I called LaShawn to see if she and her mom would be interested in going out for lunch. They were, so they came and got me, and we went to Perkins. I had a Chef Deluxe salad, half of which is in my fridge, and a slice of peanut butter silk pie. Yummy! Then we hit Family Dollar because I had a couple of things I needed to get. I ended up coming out with what I needed plus a bunch of tealight candles. I love candles. LOL
Tonight I have a Mary Kay Success Night. We’re working from the Color Insider Book & DVD set, which is really awesome. I can’t wait to go, even though I’m tired and my arm aches from the unsuccessful attempt to inject the dye there.
Also, I’m opening a new blog at Basically Geeky. Feel free to check it out, even though there’s nothing there except a WordPress installation. I’m working on it though, so do stop by if you feel the urge. I’d appreciate it, that’s for certain. With that, I’m off to work on Basically Geeky. Talk to you later!

Good to hear your bone scan went well. I guess all you have to worry about now is the results. It sounds like a really tedious process, but it’s good to find things out for certain.
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. Basically Geeky sounds like a great idea. I’d love to see what you do with it later. It looks pretty good so far.

Well, the radioactive dye isn’t so bad to tell the truth. I joked about being radioactive for a bit after the bone scan, but really, it’s not that bad.
I don’t think it’ll cause any problems anyways. LOL
