    Hi ladies, bone scan was easy, had to tone some of you down, I almost went to sleep.  Sooo glad you were with me and that I had a friend come with me for lunch between the injection and the scan.  Technician finished and I said see anything good, she said I see some arthritis and went to show the scan to the radiologist,  He wanted an X-ray of my lower back and right hip and this good Catholic girl said SHIT, loud enough to make the tech laugh, I wanted her to say "fine, go home". So wheeled off to x-ray for pics of lower back and Right hip.  My MO should get the written evaluation tomorrow, I will begin calling at 11 ala Betty.  Going to have a CM and watch some mindless TV.  love to all, Karen

    Karen,

    Glad you're home and things went well during your scan.  Requests for extra images always make you sweat so I'm sure God understands!   Hope you're relaxing with your beverage of choice.  

    Will be sticking close and checking on you while you wait for results.

    Hi dear friends, called twice, MO had not received it.   Had a blood work follow up visit with my PCP, she called radiologist and he hadn't read it yet, ASS, she called again at 4 and he had already left the hospital, double ASS.  If I have to go through the weekend, I'll be a basket case and very angry when I call, I'm holding up fairly well, only 1/4 basket case.  Do they not understand this is anxiety provoking.  Will post tomorrow in morning and afternoon so you don't worry, love you all, Karen

    Many expletives*^+@, MO in Rochester doesn't have them and it will take 25-48 hours to get scanned into his system. PCP in Batavia does have them, but she is not working today and only the physician that ordered them can read them and give me results, I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO TELL ME, CANCER, NO CANCER.  now what Betty, support phone calls appreciated, I'm 1/2 basket case now.

    Karen,

    I agree! WTF? 

     Waiting really sucks! Only thing I can think of is many times the docs are so busy seeing patients during the day that they don't have time to make their phone calls until the office closes.  That's happened to me more than once.  I had given up on hearing from them that day and, lo and behold, got a call in the evening.

    Doesn't make waiting any easier but, possibly an explanation that doesn't involve me driving there to punch him out..lol!  I've had too many Chocolate Martinis while waiting to drive!!

    Still in your pocket but, we're running low on drinks!

    Good talking to you!  Glad that they didn't leave you hanging over the weekend...This was the picture I was trying to post!  Hope it works!
