Getting ready to leave for the PET scan. I haven't been able to eat much since I was limited to protein (meat and eggs), green vegetables and water. I had scrambled eggs and bacon last night and baby cucumbers for breakfast this morning. I will be STARVING by the time this is over, which will be around dinner time. Jack will take me anywhere I want to go for dinner.
But the water. I hate plain water, have never liked it and have a difficult time making myself drink it. I know, it's not a good habit to have. I don't drink pop, not even diet (OK, once in a while I treat myself to one, non-diet pop), iced tea, coffee or MIO in my water are my beverages of choice...and of course, wine, Riesling please. But I have to get 24-30 more ounces in me before 2:30. I'll be choking that down on the drive there.
But if that is the worst part of the scan, it's not that bad, considering all the other things I may have had to drink for tests...like barium or the dreaded stuff you drink before a colonoscopy or surgery. So I'll live.
My attitude is good again today. I saw a very cool post on FB that really hits home. I want to keep remembering it...its a good way to think.
