Prepping for the CT scan

Tomorrow morning the docs are going to do a CT scan to look for signs of "mets." That's slang for metastasis. Funny how quickly you pick up the jargon when reading stuff about cancer. So around 9pm I get to guzzle a lot of barium, then repeat this in the morning. Emily had to drink this stuff when we were worried about her reflux, so if she can handle it, so can Dad.

My shoulder still hurts from the porta-cath, but it's much better than yesterday. I just have to remember that I can't pick up the girls with my left arm. Fortunately, when I forget, my shoulder quickly reminds me.

Love,
