not a good day so far

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie,

What a mess that must be, replacing the water lines that is. of course, the

lack of toilets could cause me another mess. sorry for the grossness.

You've really had a lot going this week. I've had two of those body scans in

the past couple of years. They are such a pain to get ready for, but the test

is so easy. Don't you just love how the machine is not radioactive because you

are!?! What are they looking for?

Good luck,

Marti

Thanks Marti,

They are replacing all the big water lines on our two connecting

streets that end in cul-de-sacs. Today they are tearing up our

neighboring cul-de-sac and soon will do ours. Joy Joy. The streee of

this is making my IBS act up, too.

This is the week of my body scan on Friday. Yesterday and today

getting shots to prepare me for the scan. Tomnorrow get the

radioactive iodine pill for the scan. Lots of driving to do this

week. Friday my husband is taking me to the scan so I won't have to

drive that day.

hugs,

working on the water line or was it shut off for another reason?

Hi Marti,

I posted about my thyroid cancer a few weeks ago. Had my thyroid gland

removed in 2005. So do get body scans periodically to check for new

growth. My GI doctor ordered the HIDA scan since he learned I have a

swollen common bile duct. Get bad pain often at night from it, too.

Too bad you are getting bad sinus problems again too. Hope you will be

better soon, too. Good luck with your upcoming tests, also.

Sounds funny you said I may glow in the dark. The pill is a low dose

for the body scan. Did get a higher dose in the past but stayed in the

hospital when it was done.

hugs,

Debbie J

Hi Debbie,

I'm sorry I missed your post about your thyroid cancer. I had to take a long

break because of being so sick and I really got behind on what was going on; It

was really hard to jump back in too, because everyone was talking about things I

didn't know anything about. I didn't feel right at first starting to post

again. I felt like I might be intruding. Now I know that is just me, but I

feel that way alot. It was hard for me though. It also seemed like only two

people even remembered me. I got over it as you can see. I just think I better

try not to take such a break again. I missed everyone on the group and missed

the comfort and support too.

I've had to have a lot of those scans because I also have bone cancer. I've

had bone marrow biopsies and the whole nine yards. My kids always use to say I

glowed in the dark when I was getting ready for a new scan.

I'm so sorry you get so much pain from the bile duct. I hope they find out

what is wrong and that it can be treated easily. Do you still have your gall

bladder cause they look at that on the hida scan too.

Are you having both of the scans Friday?

It's good chatting with you friend,

Marti
