I will go tomorrow to a CAT scan. Computer Axial tomography scan. The name sounds terrible and I also dread how much it will cost me.
But I am very much worried about what I have in my stomach so I´ll have to have it.
I´ll go to Dixie´s house and from there we´ll go to the hospital. I´m worried that I haven´t eaten much today. I think that I´ll open a can of tuna because I must not eat anything 4 hours before the exam. And 1 hour before I will have to drink 1 liter of water. That is as horrible as not eating anything. I´ll make me a sandwich late at night.
And I decided not to eat some of my pain pills. There will be time to take them tomorrow. I´ll invite Dixie to a coffee shop after the CAT scan.
Friends, old age is not nice
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.15 people like this

I wish you the best of luck on your CAT scan. My daughter had a CAT scan on her arm a few months ago to get a better look at a bone tumor, so that the surgeon could plan a course of action for removing it. Between the X-ray, CAT scan and MRI, they had a pretty good graphic look at the tumor and the best way to get in and remove it.
I hope your CAT scan provides some answers as well, and helps find a treatment option to help relieve your pain!

I hope your daughter is doing okay and the doctors can get all of the tumor out and she heals quickly and cleanly. Keeping her in my thoughts.

@DaddyEvil She had surgery and they were able to remove all of the tumor. She has been given a clean bill of health!

Best of luck with this. Maybe you're written about the outcome but I'm still catching up with discussions.

I know that cat scans aren’t cheap. But they are not painful on your body, just the pocketbook! I hope you get some answers soon. Saying prayers for you, sweetie!
