The CT scan itself was a little daunting. I had an IV of contrast put in to highlight my blood vessels. I had to lay down on the bed as it moved thru the scanner. The thing that I was most afraid of was moving during the scan because the technician was so adamant that I don't. Overall, the whole experience wasn't so bad.
(This is the closest to the actual one I could find. They wouldn't allow me to take a picture)
I have yet to receive word on the results. The technician that performed the scan informed me that there is only one radiologist on base that can read the scans and it will be a 3 to 5 day wait on the results. I am going in tomorrow (Monday) to see if the scans have been reviewed.
Once all my paper work goes thru and I am approved for Tripler Army Medical Center, I will be off to Hawaii for treatment.
