I had to fast for four hours before the CT scan so I figured I needed to keep busy so I stitched all of the blocks together into a real top. I was whooped afterwards but pleased that I accomplished something for a change!
I had several hours of imaging; first a CT scan , which was the first one I have had to do and then it was time for the dye which was quite a surprise because it was very different than the one I have for the MRI!!! (a bit overwhelming in the warmth throughout my body from the dye!) I was glad they could leave in the same IV when I next moved to the MRI room because it was a struggle to get one in my vein. I am quite used to the MRI and all of its noise! When I was finished, two hours later, I waited outside to enjoy the beautiful roses. I appreciate the beauty added to a space that could have been left barren but wasn't! They have several beautiful roses and I sniffed every one of them!
The creamy one smelled the best but I do love red roses!
On the road side of the imaging center, they have a retaining pond. While waiting for Bill, I saw a mud turtle and a skinny snake slithering on top of the water and over the lily pads!
I was far enough away to just be curious!
Since the technician suggested food and drink to flush my system of the double dose of 'glow juice', Bill surprised me with a visit to Corky Bells restaurant! The front of the building has plenty of garden beauty here also!
Our view southward...
and also the view toward the north along the ST Johns River.
It was calm, warm (80*) and a perfect reward for the end of the testing!
Wowza….what an adventure! How nice that it ended better than it started. That top is lovely. I’d have been hiding under the covers knowing I had those tests ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteNot a fun day but at least it ended well! I don't mind the MRI machine. I've had a few and I find them quite relaxing. Maybe too relaxing.... my last one the technician stopped half way through because he thought I had passed out... nope - just cat-napping! Lol. He said I was the first person he'd ever seen fall asleep in the machine.
