WBC Scan continued
I'm done with the white blood cell scan. Today i went in around 9am and was done about 11:30ish. It might have been a bit sooner but their schedule was a bit off and they couldn't start with me till after 9:30am. They shot more stuff in me and then i only had to wait ten min before they started scanning. Same sucky positions as yesterday only back to the skinny hard bench... still only ten minutes for each scan though which was good.
I was surprised they injected me with more stuff. Thought they were done with that and were just going to scan me some more today. I was tired this morning and i honestly don't remember what she told me she was putting in me. I remember something about it being tiny and going to my bone marrow and they'll be watching to see if it goes to normal places or abnormal places... that's about it.
I think i'm having a reaction to whatever they've put in me cause i'm really really itchy all over and i'm getting a rash again. It started yesterday and i had a rash last night. By this morning it was quite a bit better so i didn't say anything. Now it's back again even worse. Oh well if i was gonna go into anaphylactic shock it woulda happened by now i'm guessin. :P
It got me cleanin out all the crap medication i had in the cupboard looking for some benadryl. I sure had a lot of expired useless stuff in there considering i'm a nurse. Hell some of it even i didn't know what it was for. Didn't have any benadryl though dammit.
I asked the hospital for a copy of my bone scan today. It's kinda funny. My family doc spits all this stuff out for me no problem and hands it to me 5 seconds after i ask for it. Ask the hospital and you gotta sign all these release forms and they'll eventually mail it out to you a week later if you're lucky. Actually you only sign one form but still it's stupid.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
