sha-wing

with or without contrast?

awoke early because hub wanted me to have something to eat and drink before 6:45 since i had to be "no solids four hours prior to testing."

i am not hungry that early so i simply had a cup of coffee, followed by 1/2 of my *prep* (contrast) at 8:45, the other half 9:45. just not very good tasting, last effects unpleasant. had the extreme pleasure of another 1/2 cup at time of testing.

i arrived, changed and was put on the table. i then received an injectable dye they put in my system to make other things stand out, all sorts of glowy-like. thing is, as it travels through your system, it makes certain body parts feel warm. i laid there thinking of a line from the movie "wayne's world," when garth says "(she) makes me feel kinda funny...like when i climb the rope in gym class." this warmth coursed through my veins and my system within a matter of seconds producing odd sensations in body parts i didn't know existed. i was almost sad when that part of the test was finished ;)

she said my sarcoidosis didn't look too bad in my lungs....oh, really? i didn't realize i had it in my lungs again. i refuse to speculate and will await my meeting with my doctor next week to see what is going on.

i was also told today that sarcoidosis affects your entire immune system and once you have it, you always have it? this was in contrast to what i was told seven years ago. party time, excellent...

i swear, no speculation.
