oops!

i know i haven't written in a while despite so much happening. for those of you who don't already know, i am technically in REMISSION! for the most part, i feel amazing, except that i had the worst petscan experience ever last night.

i'm not sure if it was because i ate so many carbs the night before (the nurses asked me to not eat 6 hours before the procedure and remain on a low carb diet the day before... but that's really hard to do when you're at a birthday party and there are cupcakes and cream puffs in plain sight waiting to be eaten), but i got disgustingly sick. after my shot of radioactive isotopes and chugging down 2 mixed berry barium shakes, my stomach went all to hell and i was sick for the next 7 hours. i want to believe that the cupcakes and cream puffs were worth it...but really, it wasn't. i haven't felt as miserable as i was last night in a long ass time.

anyways, i finally succeeded in downloading the pictures off of my camera onto my comp and will post the pictures of the radiation machine soon. a lot of people have asked me what it looks like and what exactly happens, so i hope i can explain well enough through the pictures i took. until next time...
