Monday, June 16

Started off the day with a CT scan. Unlike last time, when it took several people four tries to get my IV in, this time I told the young nurse tech to please find the very best IV person they had because, as she termed it, I'm "a hard stick." She said she could try to get it in, and if she had a problem she could get the good-at-IVs nurse, and I said it was probably just a better idea to skip all the trying and get the other nurse from the get-go. (I was tactful. But there was no way I was going to let myself be a pincushion again.) It took the nurse that came over just one try, thank goodness, but it hurt like crazy and I nearly blacked out and had to be led to a gurney to lie down. Good times. Good times. 

Now I have to wait for the results.

Fortunately, today was an insane day of work, and I didn't stop between the time I got home from the scan until 8:30pm. I went into the office at 6:45pm to do a webinar from my office. I'm exhausted, but at least I didn't have time to endlessly and pointlessly refresh my email, waiting for a test results notification.

The kids finished up their final day in Spain today, with a great trip to the beach in Malaga. They look so incredibly happy in the pictures I've seen, and I know they'll remember this trip forever. That said, I'm definitely ready for them to be home. They'll get home tomorrow night.
