CAT SCAN TODAY!

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. PROVERBS 14:31

I had my CAT scan today, I had to reschedule my doctors appointment until Friday morning. I have a job to go on in Laredo, TX in the morning. Today I am having some pretty good stomach cramps, they are more intense then usual. I have never described my CAT scan experience, here it goes! Once I check in I go to radiology, where I have to dring 2 glasses of Barium, the glasses are seperated by 30 minutes. When they are ready for me, I go into a room and change into a gown. I then get an IV so they can inject Iodine for the test. I also get a Barium enema to top me off as the technician likes to say, it is humiliating, but I survive. When this is done a set of pictures are taken, then they inject the Iodine and anoter set of pictures are taken. Then they wait two minutes and take another set of pictures. The machine tells you when to breath and hold your breath, for about 6 seconds during the picture taking process. Over all the process is painless, except for the humility part :-). I hope everyone is having a God blessed day!
