I spent the morning relaxing as we were having Mel’s birthday party with the family today. I made sure to eat and to drink throughout the day and did well for my food intake and managed to feel quite comfortable. That is until the afternoon while I was doing some food prep. I finished some…
I arrived at the hospital early for my appointment and started to walk towards the tower that I was told to attend. I aborted as it did not seem right and went to where I normally go. Once I arrived there, the registration clerk told me that I was really early for my appointment, but…
Today is CT scan day. My appointment tonight is at 9:40pm and it is actually in a different location compared to where I normally go. Most of the time I get my scan done in the South Tower but tonight i am in the North Tower. I do not recall ever getting a CT scan…

I need to make sure that I take my anti-nausea pills. I am finishing up my coffee right now and my stomach is not really full, but I am feeling some nausea. It is awesome. I think that if I tried to eat something right now that it would not sit very well. I realized…
