It's been a real wench of a week, so since I was having to spend time in the nuclear torture chamber today, I declared this to be a free day, diet-wise. After I stopped glowing and it was safe to leave, Roger and I stopped by the grocery store, and I went insane (never, ever go food shopping after a fasting procedure. Definitely not healthy for your wallet, if nothing else.) Anyway... running wild through the aisles, pushing my scooter to the max, and what did I come out with for lunch and dinner?
Lunch was some sesame noodles, with Shanghai tofu. (I did also get a spinach ricotta frittata - palm sized, which I split with my mother, but still - it was semi-naughty at best.) And for dinner? I picked up various root veggies (some golden beets, some regular beets, some brussel sprouts) which we roasted up and served alongside the beet greens. Mind you, this wasn't what I was told to eat, this is what I actually looked at in the entire store and thought "Oh! That sounds good!" I fear for my sanity. It might have been the radiation - maybe I was bitten by a green bean or something while I was stuck in the tube?
At any rate... the scan went well-ish (hurt like hell, but they gave me warm blankets, and that goes a long way.) I made it through, but next time, I'm definitely demanding Ativan (that is, if I can figure out who my cancer doctor actually is. I sent another message today, saying "The lab says the scans will be ready this afternoon, and by the way, am I still supposed to contact Dr. C, or since Dr. S (my first Dr) is back from OB leave, should I be talking to her" and was told my doctor is out of clinic today, and they'll get back to me sometime early next week - and telling me that she's not sure either, but it looks like I talked to Dr C last. Yeah. I did. Back in AUGUST! I know I don't fit into their protocols, and my other, non-cancer drs have been great, but I really do feel like a red-headed stepchild when it comes to the gyn-onc section.)
But anyway... early night and late morning, and I'll see if I can finally kick this stupid head-cold out the door.
