Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 HEy everyone Just wanted to update ya on D's ct appt. It was a little scary. They didn't put D to sleep, they decided to just hold her still, body wrapped where she can't move. One nurse held her head still while i tried to calm her down & hold her legs. the other two went back & took pics..i wonder how they can get her shot with that one nurse holding her head. D was crying all through it!! IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Once the machine started spinning, i felt like she was being experienced with. it just started spinning faster & all she did was look at it & cried. I know that they thought it would be better for her to not take the sedation but it was terrible ..i don't know how to explain it..i guess i was getting a little dose of what's to come when they cast her. The ct scan lasted no more than maybe 3 mins. they had to do it twice. It was pretty scary. all the while she was staring and crying; i was thinking that she WILL NOT remember this. Gosh, i HATE going through this; all this time i think i know what's best for her. Oh yeah, that one day with the pd. neuro. was bad too. Did anyone else's pd. neuro. made bb cry? Now that lasted longer than ct scan, but with the thought of her strapped from shoulder to leg & crying is just sad; she even managed to get one of her hands out of the full body strap, i had to hold it so her hand won't come out. -mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Oh , I am so sorry the CT scan was so traumatic for Delylah! And you. When do you get the results? It may take them weeks.. yes weeks to get you the results. You might have to make a pest of yourself and call them A LOT. Please keep us posted and give Delylah a hug from me and ! > HEy everyone > Just wanted to update ya on D's ct appt.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 : Oh man, I was having a hard time just reading Delylah's story I am surprised they were so reluctant to sedate her, but I can understand why they didn't. Ugggg, like you said though, she won't remember this & the most important thing of all was that she wasn't in any pain. Let us know the results when you get them. It sounds like the hard part is over, even the casting doesn't sound as tough as the CTscan was - if that's any consolation.
