I had a PET/CT scan & a bone scan this week. I have to say I learned a lot.
I had to be injected with radioactive glucose so it would show up on the PET scan. They bring it out...think small lead lunchbox. They remove it & the syringe is still enclosed in a lead tube. I had to sit for an hour & drink some tea drink. I actually fell asleep. Then you get the scan done. Pretty easy you just have to lay still for 30 minutes. After a while I started to get sore & needed to move but I didn't.
On the way home in a cab, we saw lots of police cars. They seemed to be running a drill or something...must have been 20 of them. As we continued our drive, we get pulled over by one of the police cars. His radioactive device was beeping like crazy & guess why...it was me. I was so radioactive that I set off his alarm (see Homeland Security is working). He kept following the signal & finally found me in my cab. My poor cab driver was so scared to be pulled over. Sorry!
At least these tests weren't too bad & I have a funny story to tell!
