The CT Scan is done. It was not an experience that instills confidence in our hospital. The computer system refused to let me register for the process. And then halfway thru the procedure the electricity flickered off and on and the CT machine’s computer needed to be rebooted. I was stuck in the machine and had just been injected with the dye – so they couldn’t wait for the computer to restart. (It must be a Microsoft system). So, I wiggled out of the machine and ran across the hall and hopped into another CT machine. And, apparently the dye was still roaming around my interior parts. Hopefully, they’ll not call tomorrow saying a do over is in order.
Now, since the lens is en-route… I must schedule the next procedure tomorrow. One must keep up one’s end of Faustian deals.
did you have to drink the barium cocktail? Tastes like citrus and shit mixed together? I had to do that and almost puked before the scan.
Nope, I got an almost fatal dose of IV iodine. You can feel it running around your interior. It was right after they let the iodine into me that the computer crapped out. It is “good” for about 5 minutes – that is why I had to run across hall to the other machine, which was thankfully – booted up but not in use.
