NucMed today

JJ · Post by JJ » Thu Aug 09, 2007 9:47 pm

I had my nuclear med test today....45 mins strapped on a table that went into an x-ray machine. They put radioactive isotopes in my blood and watched my kidneys. Half way through, they gave me IV meds to stimulate my kidneys...I couldn't make it the last 3 mins...had to

almost didn't make it in time...close call! Oh, and they made me drink a huge glass of water before the test!

Yesterday, I had the pre-op appt....I'm ready fr surgery!

TTFN...JJ

Jill-

That all goes well!! And hopefully it's just the scar tissue thingy (that would be the simplist to fix, no?)

Medical stuff is *so* not fun! I'll be thinkin' about you tomorrow!!

Love,

Mary

Oops!

I guess I assumed it was "immediately" pre-op - I'm not good at remembering dates, either, so I'm sure you mentioned it and I forgot!

Well the extra good wishes can't hurt

Thanks for all the well wishes! I am looking forward to this being done!

I will keep you posted.....JJ

PS I met with the new HR person at my old job and the pay-out of my sick days IS based on my 60% job last year. They unofficially suggested that I write a letter to the Head of School. Stay tuned...JJ

Thanks so much Polly and.... everyone else who has given me great support through all of this. On top of everything else, I went to Urgent Care today because of a swollen and painful lymph node in my neck...ouch! The pain started spreading to my ear and teeth and I said enough of this....the doc gave me antibiotics and said it is infected....I am falling apart!

This too shall pass...TTFN...JJ

Jill,

That's adding insult to injury - more of the old "when it rains, it pours", routine. I hope it clears up fast.

Is your surgery still scheduled for tomorrow? If so, I hope everything goes smoothly, and your recovery doesn't take very long.

Hugs,
Tex

Oh Jill-

I *so* hear you on the "falling apart" thing! It is very frustrating, isn't it? I think it's harder to take if you have been a healthy person most of your life - really throws you for a loop, mentally!

I just tell myself "these things are all treatable/fixable and will soon be behind me!"

Best of luck tomorow!

Jillster,

Have they given you any idea on the recovery time? When will you be home?

All my best vibes coming your way through this!

Love
Pegster
