Day Sixteen

Had my CT scan today, now that was an adventure! Had to drink two pints of peach flavoured barium mixture before I went in. Then I had to have an injection that makes you go hot from the back of your throat all the way down your middle until you think you have wet yourself - not very pleasant but bearable. I then had the scan, which involves you lying still and holding your breath for a bit. Not too bad. Unfortunately, I then had an allergic reaction to the injection - I sat up and the nurse asked me if I had had the rash for long, I said no, and then realised I was getting very itchy and breathy. Scared?! Just a tiny bit. One anti-histimine injection and two squirts of my inhaler, a cup of tea and I was right as rain again. Typical me! Have to be awkward at everything! Glad that's all over now, this time next week the operation should be too, fingers crossed.
