Michael, Megan, Katherine and Andrew came for Father's Day. (James and Nick were at work.) They had picked up a case of meat from Omaha Steaks. I always wondered if it was any good and worth the high price tag. It certainly was. The most tender filet mignons, juiciest burgers and some nice fat hot dogs. I couldn't have the burgers because I was on a low carb diet (see later in post) but I had one of the hot dogs and it was one of the best I've ever had. We also had shrimp cocktail and dessert--both of which I could not have, either.
I had my PT Scan this morning. Yesterday I had to avoid all carbs and sugars, as well as caffeine, which is why I missed out on shrimp (can't eat it without cocktail sauce!) and dessert. No Coffee was the hardest!
So we went in about 8:30 this morning. First, they take your blood to check your glucose level. Mine was 100, which is good.
Then you go into a room where they inject you with something. This is my fourth time around and I recognized the man who did that. Very sweet guy named Victor. Most of the time my injection is by hand but this time he had a machine that does it. I got to watch him set it up. Pretty amazing.
So after the injection is done I sit there for an hour with a special drink. The last 3 times it was water but this time it was a sort of vanilla milkshake. Not too bad at all.
After an hour, I go into the room where the PT Scanner is. This is the only part of this I really don't like--holding my arms above my head for 20 minutes. It hurts when you get to move again.
Now all I can do is wait to see what Dr. Ahmed says next week. Hopefully, I will get a clean bill of health!
Oh, and on top of all this we've had a plumbing leak. Mike was able to get the plumber to come to the house while I was at the PT place. Now there is a big hole in the garage wall where he will fix the leak in a few days. Mike and the boys had to move a big old dresser full of tools (mostly from Mike's Dad) and it was so old it fell apart!
