OK… so the CT scan was this morning and they did 4 series of pictures of my ankle and foot, bending me in ways that no 26 year old woman should be able to bend for long periods of time to get the right angle and keep my left foot out of the picture.? It wasn’t so much pain from my injured ankle/foot as much as it was having to lie on my side with my leg out straight flexing my foot, lying with my left leg tucked under my right knee which had to be bent upward,…? At least they gave me a couple interesting issues of National Geographic to read whilst they worked and then had to wait for the tubes to cool down.
The whole thing took almost two hours which meant that I got to the WELCA Christmas party an hour and a half late.? Thankfully, they still had food so I got a lovely lunch of chicken hotdish, cranberry jello, and some kind of Schwan’s ice cream for dessert.? (It was pink spumoni — I think they called it “Pink Divinity”.)? Oh yes… the red punch too.? Let’s just say I was jonesing for a ginger altoid fix when I got home — you’d think I would have learned that I can’t eat big meals anymore.? Thank goodness for the ginger creations!
I’m probably not going to know what’s up with the CT scan for a couple days.? The radiologist is in Kalispell and he has to read the CT scan and send the report to my lovely Italian doctor.? (For those who don’t know, I live in the middle of nowhere and because of this, there isn’t a radiologist nearby, so they send the images to Kalispell where there’s a radiologist.? You’d think they’d send it to Great Falls which is closer but I guess all the radiologists in Great Falls are too swamped with the stuff from the megalithic hospital.)? I’m hoping we know what’s up by… Wednesday?
