CT Scan

Today was very stressful! I had therapy at 10:30 am which I cancelled, a CT scan at 1 pm, Jessica was waiting on Houston to call for an appointment and she had to get steroid shot at 4:40 pm. Gosh, so much in one day!
We checked Brantyn out of school about 10:30 and ate lunch before heading off to the other appointments we had. The CT scan went very good, I was able to do most of the registration part by myself and I went back into the imaging station by myself. The staff was very well trained on how to get my on the table and back in my chair without hurting me. The scan took about fifteen minutes to do and we were out of there. We were in the waiting room for about two hours but it wasn't too bad. Brantyn was very well behaved if I do say so myself.
After we left we had about an hour to kill before Jessica had to be at the hospital for the shot so we went right down the road to see Aunt Pam. She had a double knee replacement surgery on Wednesday and will be in the hospital for about two weeks. She's doing good, not able to get up yet because the medicine that they gave her to block the pain hasn't warn off. They said they would try again tomorrow.
Once we left there we went straight to the women and children's hospital for the steroid shot. We got there about fourty five minutes early hoping we wouldn't be there two hours like yesterday. Sure enough we were only waiting for about thirty minutes this time and were out of there too.

We went back to recovery part of the surgical unit to pick up Brantyn and see aunt Pam again before we headed home. She was still kind of out of it but it's always good to see her. We ate Chinese for dinner and came home. We didn't pull into our driveway until seven o'clock! I'm exhausted!
