Computer Tomography

The scan was a bit unnerving, uncomfortable, and am now full of dye.

Two separate scans: one upper body, first without dye, then stuff goes in through your arm, which is bent above your head, then back and forth again, through the ‘doughnut’ wheel, holding breath, and keeping perfectly still. Second scan, jump up, change position, and put head in a helmet like contraption, close eyes and don’t move. The whole thing took about 30 minutes. All I could think about was what they were going to find.

I did feel a bit wobbly when I came out, so had a cappuccino and flapjack at the little coffee shop at the entrance.
