Well it's over.  I had the scan early this morning.  As always it didn't exactly run smoothly.  I got there early and the patient scheduled before me hadn't arrived yet so they started me with an iv and the usual questions about whether I'm allergic to anything etc.  But then the other patient finally arrived and I had to go back to the waiting room.  By then, it was time for my own appointment, but because the patient before me came late, they are running late.   So there I waited with the iv already done.    I'm sure for most that wouldn't be a big deal, but my only working vein is on the side of my arm, and you can't imagine how awkward it is trying to look through magazines and keep my arm with the iv turned so I don't bump it.  And then of course, everything ran late.  It was hours before I was done.   I had infusions that took less time.  It wasn't until the afternoon that I'm done.  And then I have to wait 3 days to get the results.  More waiting.  It's hard.  I know it's going to be good news.  I really believe with all my heart that it's going to be good.  Still it's going to be hard to wait.   

I need to fill the time.  My sister will be coming for a visit and normally preparing for her visit would fill my time.   I would clean the house and make sure the linens were fresh in the guest bedroom and plan a big home cooked meal and other fun activities.  But because I'm fatigued and have all these different side effects from chemo,  I can't do any of that.  If it's going to be done, it has to fall on the shoulders of my caregiver husband.  Bless his heart, he is trying his best to do that for me.  He's running around the house dusting, picking up, and vacuuming.  Guess I'll just watch him to eat up the time until I get my scan results.
