Cat scan done well around 1:30 in the afternoon. Staff who performed it very personable and supportive. I would have liked to see the results right away, but they told me that the results would be e-mailed to the doctor who ordered the cat scan, and then they would contact me. Staff member told me that the doctor's office would have it by the next morning (today). So I wait. If i hear nothing from them by 10, I probably will call them and see if they have received it. Sometimes a little prodding with the staff can be helpful.
Nice sense of relief when I left the hospital. Hungry, had not eaten since around 8:00---the hospital is on 59th and 10th, I remembered an all purpose dining room at 55th and 8th, and walked over, hoping it was open. It turns out it was---and I, who have stayed away from food broiled or cooked, filled my plastic plate with four kinds of chicken. Had to do it. Turns out it was very good and did not trouble my stomach that much.
Returned home and spent a very uneventful rest of the day around the apartment. Listened a bit to the two baseball games that were on the radio (Yankees-Braves and Mets---Nationals) but found myself annoyed by the repetition of the announcers. I usually enjoy the Yankee announcers---yesterday I simply felt I had had enough of them Some good games this weekend---a Yankee-Boston series is coming up; I will have to figure out if I can tolerate the announcers, since my interest might be strong.
Right now, body feels very loose and relaxed. Still some stomach problems but the "coolness" in the rest of my body is making me feel very optimistic now. Feel like I can go out and do anything. Let's see how that fits in with the cat scan results.
