Monday - February 4, 2013"Watchful Waiting" must eventually shift from the waiting to the watching and today was the day when we got around to actually checking things out via PET scan and then a head and orbit MRI. The tests themselves are old-hat by now but VCU is now using the new PET scanner which has been rumored since my first PET scan in May. Nice change :) Brand-spanking new, much faster, and even ceiling lighting panels of back-lit photographs of the sky glimpsed through leafy branches. I was almost fooled into thinking I was indeed outside on a glorious summer day but then they strapped me down onto the gurney and the illusion was dashed. A kind impulse by the radiology receptionist to compact our day inadvertently elongated our schedule. Megan waited solo 3 hours and together we sat in various holding areas for an additional 3. A long day made enjoyable by Megan's company and a Burger Bach meal in Richmond.
Results? Next Tuesday. My goal is to remain calm, centered, and optimistic :)
