Tuesday, March 2, 2010. I had my PET/CT scan. Yesterday. it was quite the experience. i wasn't allowed to eat. That morning or drink anything besides water. After i arrived at the doctor's office and filled out a questionnaire. They hooked me up with a saline IV. the tech warned me i would be injected with radioactive material in order to produce a better picture for the PET scan. So, the tech left to go get the radioactive material, and when he returned, he was all hazmat-ed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, June 15, 2009. Swimming pools and movie stars. I had an echocardiogram this week. basically, an echo is like an ultrasound of your heart. you can see the ventricles and atriums and the blood flowing in and out on a little tv screen. i felt like i was watching a tv show starring my heart. and if i may so, my heart is quite the thespian.

Monday, May 18, 2009. Outdoor festivals and ambulance rides. I had tickets to the citybeat beer festival yesterday in north park. although i was a little tired and jetlagged from having just returned from d.c. on saturday, i didn't want to waste my ticket and figured beer would be the perfect pick me up. Everything came back okay, so they told me i could go home, finally after 6 hours. the bf took me home and stayed by my side all night to make sure i was okay. Sunday, May 17, 2009. The boyfriend also jo...

Sunday, November 22, 2009. Aren't you supposed to SLEEP during a sleep test? I had my sleep test this past week. i didn't like it one bit. I arrived at the sleep center. At 9pm. 9pm is my usual bed time these days, so i showed up in my pajamas. there were a few other people there for a sleep test, and only one sleep tech, so it took her a while to get everyone wired up. since i arrived last, i was wired last. i read my book. In my little room for about an hour before it was my turn. this was my room:.

Lindsay's Blog: setbacks
http://the-linds.blogspot.com/2010/02/setbacks.html
Thursday, February 25, 2010. I had a setback last week. i'm not exactly sure why, but i woke up one morning vomiting. It continued for about the next three hours, consistently. i threw up at least 30 times that day. i was unable to eat anything or drink much, so i ended up going almost 40 hours with no food or water. Since then, i have been very weak and tired again, almost as bad as it was 6 months ago. i've had the bad pains in my legs. Owe in health care bills, i'm leaning towards the former :). I ori...

Monday, March 30, 2009. Trisler's wine bar is literally a block from where i live. i had never been, but always wanted to go, so i organized a happy hour there. i was pleasantly surprised with trisler's - i think this is going to be my new favorite hangout! We went on a thursday during happy hour. selected (but good) glasses of wine are only $5 and beer is only $3. i didn't even notice what kind of beer they had, i only drank wine. when in rome.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. As i've told you before, and you can plainly see, my lungs are HUGE. I was also able to get a copy of my ct scan, where you can see the tumor much better. Those two large black circles are my lungs. the view here is if you had cut off the top of my torso and were looking down at my lungs. the white penny-sized dot on the left black circle is the tumor on my lung. it is at the very top of my left lung, where my collar bone meets my ribs. Kinda cool, huh? Disclaimer: The major...

Saturday, October 17, 2009. I'd like that with a side of mayo. I tried to get into the mayo clinic. Because i have had good experiences in the past. i thought maybe they would be able to help me out now, seeing as it's been 5 months, no one still has any idea, and i don't feel much better. Turns out i was actually rejected. By mayo. guess maybe i'm not sick. For at least a little while. But, i don't want to have to move, just to feel normal. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Iron (wo)man: the sequel. I really w...

Saturday, January 16, 2010. Good news and bad news. I received the results of my blood test from the pulmonary. Tests came back negative, meaning i've never had valley fever or any of the other infections we were testing for. That still doesn't explain what the hell this. Is i'm due for a pet scan in about a month, so hopefully that will provide more answers. I also received the results of the blood test my PCP ordered. we did a comprehensive blood panel plus iron and vitamin d. Low), now its 47. As a re...
