[Magdalen] PET scan.

As expected, the IV was worse than the scan.  IVs are inserted either painlessly, or with great pain.  Today, mine was the latter.  But at least the radioactive dye went in quickly (if painfully), and my hour of waiting was pleasantly me with my own thoughts.  The scan, 35 minutes in length, was at first claustrophobic, but quickly merely interesting:  staying perfectly still, and realising the tube was actually rather short in length, making it so I could see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel at both ends during the whole thing.  My feet were bound in a way that made my wounds hurt, but hey, I could have been at my desk at work, where they would have hurt worse.

This coming Monday, results with Doc Kim at the cancer center.  I'm honestly worried.

Thanks to all.
