I stayed at my cousin Kahley's house last night and her fiance Jay came with me this morning. We got there early, 7:15am, and I was injected at 7:30 with the sugar solution...waited an hour and got in at 8:30 for the scan. So I lay down on the 12" wide hard plastic concave 'bed' and I get strapped in - one from beneath the bed around the wrists/thighs and one around the biceps/chest, a pillow under the knees and one under the head. One good thing was that they had warm blankets - this helped. They take several pictures from my pelvis up to just below my ears. The pictures were to take 1.5 hours - 60min for the first set and 30min for the second set. The first group of pictures each take 8mins....so I guess the second set should have taken about 4min each. The donut thingy slides up and down you body...for claustrophobic people, I think this would suck. Anyways, the tech, Sandra, made some miscalculations and the scan ended up taking 2hr and 15min. Laying perfectly still for this time sucks - but I just kept telling myself that the results of this test was going to be some of the greatest news of my life - so don't screw it up by moving.
They said I should get my results mid-week next week....not bad, but we'll see.
So, again, do whatever positive thinking/praying/acting you can ... and have a good weekend.
P.S. Thanks for all the encouraging emails and comments!
Ciao.

Jeff,
Sometimes the waiting is the toughest. But at least it will not be that long.
Remember all the good things about your illness. Other than that first day, when you got the initial diagnosis, all the rest of the news, tests and results have been really good and positive.
This one will be too.
Things are looking up. The Leafs have won three in a row.
Keep busy for the next few days.
